Look, the idea that diversity inherently breeds mistrust while homogeneity guarantees harmony is oversimplified nonsense. Studies like Putnam’s show mixed results—diversity can strain trust short-term, but integration and shared goals often rebuild it. Cultural likeness doesn’t magically fix conflict; look at historic European wars. People clash over power, not just skin color. Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos proves trust can cross borders without forced sameness. Logic cuts both ways—don’t cherry-pick.
