PANews October 17 news, according to Cointelegraph, several Bitcoin supporters, including Jack Dorsey, are pushing for the privacy-focused instant messaging application Signal to adopt Bitcoin through a new initiative called “Bitcoin for Signal.” The initiative aims to integrate Bitcoin with the Cashu protocol to enable payment functionality within the Signal app. Dorsey posted on the X platform on Thursday and retweeted a tweet from the anonymous Bitcoin developer Cashu, who is the initiator of the “Bitcoin for Signal” initiative. Bitcoin developer Peter Todd also expressed support for the initiative, hoping that Bitcoin could replace or at least expand Signal's current crypto assets payment solution - MobileCoin (MOB).
