People want to trust, but want also have mechanisms to verify. #Bitcoin is perfectly playing this role as a tool. For those who don’t need it, they can find other features of Bitcoin. But to claim it as a technology of distrust it is simply misleading and misinformation.

I agree with you, it is a technology that doesn't require trust to function. If you tell me an address has x number of bitcoin I can verify it. After verifying enough times one can start to build trust with numerous parties. Semantics but an important distinction.
