I can see a use case for sending files from phone to phone, but wouldn't you just talk to someone if you're that close?
Also, I wonder what the theoretical range is? How many relay points will a message go through?

Reminder that this is the same app that a few weeks ago was found to be advertised as secure when it was still experimental and without being audited, and for which multiple serious vulnerabilities were found before they added the disclaimer saying it was experimental:
Jack Dorsey says his 'secure' new Bitchat app has not been tested for security | TechCrunch
Dorsey admitted that his new messaging app had not been reviewed or tested for security issues prior to its launch.

It was very clearly advertised as experimental and insecure:
Warning
Private message and channel features have not received external security review and may contain vulnerabilities. Do not use for sensitive use cases, and do not rely on its security until it has been reviewed

As the TechCrunch article I shared says, that warning was added only after the multiple vulnerabilities listed were found and publicised, and the original article in this post didn't mention the vulnerabilities or it being experimental either.

I can answer a couple of those questions. It will go through up to seven devices and with Bluetooth maximum range of 300 meters you can get 6,800 feet or around 1.2 miles at maximum.
Mind you, that would be with everything perfectly done, so it most likely won't be that far.
