Anonymity has its price. With Bitmessage it's traffic and disk space, with E-Mail it's trust. If we can't trust our e-mail providers (who can?), Bitmessage is a very interesting alternative, albeit not fully matured.
I find the idea of trustless protocols, and peer to peer networks that typically leverage them, intriguing. In the beginning, the internet was a huge network of equal participants, but nowadays it all seems to end up at google or facebook. P2P and trustless protocols give us back some of that freedom that got lost in the cloud.
That there is now a p2p e-mail replacement I think is absolutely amazing.
Yes, it doen't scale as well as e-mail. But as I don't think we'll have the spamming problem with Bitmessage, thanks to Proof of Work, it might not have to.
