Bitchat might just be onto something when it comes to emerging markets like Iran. In regions where communication options are limited or heavily restricted, decentralized messaging apps could fill a real gap. The appeal here goes beyond just tech—it's about accessibility and freedom of communication in places that genuinely need alternative solutions. Whether it gains traction depends on user adoption and reliability, but the potential use case is definitely worth watching.

That's what they say, but how many people can actually use it? Iran's internet censorship is so strict that even good things are hard to spread.

Iran has such strict internet censorship; if Bitchat can really survive, it's truly a gold mine. But on the other hand, user retention rate is the real killer feature.

They really need this thing over in Iran, but is it reliable?

ngl, this idea does have some merit, but does Iran really need it... With such strict censorship, it's hard to even install apps.

There is indeed potential in the free communication sector, but whether it can truly survive in places like Iran depends on whether it can avoid dropping the ball.

Sounds good, but I bet this thing will ultimately become a tool for cutting leeks. If Iran really uses it, it won't take more than a few years before it gets banned.
