the thing is. bitcoin is not about trust.

bitcoin is open source and everyone can reason and discuss the rules by themselves.

do you trust satoshi?

...nobody knows who satoshi is or was, so the only way to judge is by looking at what bitcoin is and how it works and one can derive from there.

no need to trust.

bitcoin is exactly about ending the requirement for that kind of trust. its a protocol.

a system that requires trust is fiat or any system with autorities to decide on behalf of you, while you can only suck it up.

bitcoin fixes this.
