After 4.5 decades of civil disobedience activism, libertarian networking, and then the Wild World of Bitcoin which took me on a 4 year total off grid (zero bank access) adventure around the US, I promise you that your network of trust (Yes, I said "trust") will be what enables you to thrive and in some cases survive.

Trust will always be a thing between people. Trust minimization is the goal of money (what money should strive for).

The most popular voice for Normies in 2014 was Andreas: Bitcoin is trustless. This from a socialist who when given a huge stash of bitcoin asked, "How am I supposed to pay the taxes on this?". Trustless is not the same as permissionless. Evangelists should focus on that as almost nobody understands trust minimization as a component of economic game theory.
