I would suggest people here to take a look to Bitmessage and see if it
is good enough for your uses and needs.

What is happening now is people is awaking, again, to the fact
governments can not be trusted not to abuse their power. And the only
solution is to take away their power.

With Bitcoin people take away the power of the CBs to print and the
power of government to seize money with the help of banks, to force
people to pay taxes with the help of payment processors and so on.

In the same way, people should be taking away, with peaceful
technological ways, the power of government to see who is communicating
and what is communicating.

In this Bitcoin is very useful
People, with Bitcoin, must have secret keys to sign their transactions
and they can use their secret key to sign messages showing they are in
control of the bitcoin address.
After people start use secret keys for their money it is a little effort
to use them always or often for other reason.
