As I understand it, Bitmessage can prevent an attack that reveals /with whom/ you communicate but not /that/ you've communicated. It's a step deeper than, say, using GnuPG. That works for many people in many cases. However, there might be times when you want to hide, at least "fairly locally" /that/ you've communicated and that's when BM falls down. Additionally, the crypto of BM has never been properly verified as I recall so we can't be sure how secure it actually is. With that alone, all we can really say is that BM is a great idea that may or may not protect users but could go further. Overall though, I love the concept.
