Second thing is, why use a service with a phone number, if you have so many easier alternatives available?
You talk about VPNs, Tor, Bitcoin, etc... Why make life so hard?
There are so many instant messengers, which don't require shit.
For example, XMPP is dead easy to set up. Have already set it up for several people with no technical knowledge at all (you can be lucky, if they find the on/off button on a device) & it works without any hassle.
Now, enable OMEMO & you get free encryption without any effort. You usually don't even need to press a button, because it's usually enabled by default.
There are tons of XMPP servers, which don't care about your account, at all. & even in some weird scenario, where they do, you can switch accounts within minutes, by just choosing an alternative server.
Simple & way less difficult & time-consuming than your Signal journey over three oceans. :P
