Little communication software out there can be made as secure and resilient as email.
Two people out there can run their mail servers on a laptop or a raspberry pi. Email is easily encrypted with TLS and GPG on top.
The initial setup for this could take less than 2 hours.
Bonus points: everything could be run from a *sh shell, 1 CPU core and 128 RAM is quite enough.

Postfix (and HAProxy for that matter) are some of the best pieces of software I have the pleasure to work with. Very good docs, I personally haven't seen them crash and have a way to never take you by surprise.

That's a bit enraging to me. I feel it's in the same class of arguments with things like earth is flat -- we don't want a round one, blacks are not humans -- they should be happy we grant them slavery. The status quo is our normality.

Which one? I had savings to buy several apartments but in a few years those savings were worth a lunch. That was a long time ago. But as of now my income depends on US, EU, Syria, Turkey etc crisis and hell knows what other stuff I don't even hear about on the news.
As a guy lacking both bitcoins and real money they both weight as a surprisingly similar amount of crap.
You pay for results?
If ~$100 is that much for you (as a company of some sort) why don't you use Letsencrypt?
See how easy that was? It's called bullshit logic.
