Bitcoiners Louden Call for Signal to Adopt BTC in New Campaign
A new “Bitcoin for Signal” campaign is urging encrypted messaging app Signal to integrate Bitcoin, with high-profile backers including Jack Dorsey and developer Peter Todd publicly supporting the push. Advocates argue adding BTC would enable private, peer-to-peer payments and broaden Signal’s utility beyond messaging. If Signal adopts Bitcoin, it could accelerate mainstream crypto payments adoption and create new monetization and network effects for the app, while raising product, privacy and regulatory trade-offs for the nonprofit platform.
