In the context of the Web of Trust for Nostr, I believe it's essential to first understand what trust really means.

In human relationships, I see trust as the belief or expectation that someone will act in a certain way, whether that action is positive or negative. When trust is positive, it means you rely on someone to act with integrity, honesty, and in your best interest. But trust can also be negative, where you expect someone to behave in a way that’s harmful, deceitful, or not in your favor, based on what you’ve seen from them before. In both cases, trust is about predicting behavior.

For me, trust—whether it’s positive or negative—is a crucial tool for security. It helps you anticipate how others will act, saving you time and effort. By trusting someone, you can focus on what’s important without needing to double-check every detail, using your understanding of that person to protect yourself from harm or to secure positive outcomes.
