I think many have misunderstood how Bitcoin restores the market of trust. The goal isn’t to remove all trust and have distrusted adversarial conditions in every market interaction. To the contrary, society is *built on* trust.

Corrupted money erodes trust between entities that are **actually being honest.** that’s the real problem, is that if you and I trust each other, we are still getting screwed by a third party abusing OUR trust for their benefit. Trustless money allows us to have control over our trusted networks and interactions again. It lets you and I do business without being subject to anyone else.

In short, trust is not a bad thing. A trustless foundation lets us build long term relationships of trust with better paths back to safety when things go wrong, and better control over who we associate with and accept risk on behalf of. It allows us to properly VALUE trust.
