Bitmessage is a peer-to-peer communication protocol for sending encrypted messages over a decentralized network. It was designed to provide a secure way to send messages without relying on centralized servers, making it resistant to censorship and surveillance. Launched in 2012 by Jonathan Warren, Bitmessage allows users to create a unique address that can receive messages, similar to an email address. The messages are encrypted and sent to the network, where they are relayed by other users until they reach the recipient.
