Actually, I'm wondering if there are programs for chat with encrypted chat between users?

It would also be nice if it was OpenSource, decentralized and naturally anonymous. Like Bitcoin only for text messages.

If this is a separate protocol, then it is desirable that the program also supports all common protocols, not necessarily with the above features.

(In miranda\quipe, it seems there was a function to put a password on messages. How effective is this and how does it work?)

Jabber is capable of pgp encryption .
To be absolutely certain, you can raise your own jabber server.

There are no decentralized ones (as I know). But the ssl in jabber (gtolke) is.

freenet + frost = distributed decentralized storage network (websites, forums, blogs - static) + nntp/email messenger based on it. Sharpened for security and anonymity (a level higher than tor and anonymous proxies).
A little slow, at the beginning it will pump out a couple of gigs and burn out 512 MB on the disk for the base (minimum), java (cross-platform), a slightly outdated interface, but it is usable and copes with its tasks.

What purpose are you interested in? In order to use or for the purpose of competitive analysis of existing systems?

Skype is part of what fits your description - a decentralized, encrypted channel. However, it is not open source and does not provide anonymity.

Psi + GnuPG (or any other Jabber client that can work with GnuPG). In general, GPG is a universal thing. You can find a plug-in for some ICQ client, you can encrypt mail (there are all sorts of crutches to use through the browser in GMail ).

Miranda+SecureIM (channel encryption) + SecureDB+ (base encryption).
Accordingly, it works on top of any supported network (ICQ, Jabber, etc.)
Well, of course, it requires the same client on the other side.
The channel encrypts either with GPG / PGP keys or with a random session RSA

If it's still relevant, then maybe this will do:
RetroShare is a Open Source cross-platform, private and secure decentralised communication platform. It lets you to securely chat and share files with your friends and family, using a web-of-trust to authenticate peers and OpenSSL to encrypt all communication.

RetroShare easily breaks through NAT
Tox messenger easily breaks through double NAT
XMPP with OTR
JAMI is still damp but you can use
all of the above is open source I personally tested all these programs
