bitmessenger maybe?

See OP.

GPG/PGP is the standard solution.   

"Messengers"  are underlying transport protocols.  What keeps something secure is the next layer on top.  A quick check is to say "did a company produce this?"  If the answer is yes, than you aren' t using a secure protocol. 

Completely agreed!

Hey guys, I'd like to bring up a question of finding a secure, fast and easy to use messenger application. Since cryptocommunity is based pretty heavily on privacy, decentralization, etc. I thought this is a good place to talk about that.....
Passenger pigeons.

Can't beat them.

Yeah sure, encryption of both the destination and the message itself (if you're up for a little cryptography) is nice, but the messages are quite easily interceptable, and there is less than 100% deliverability, even without anyone trying to disrupt your communications. I'll pass.
