Quote JBP:

"I will trust you - I will extend my hand to you - despite the risk of betrayal, because it is possible, through trust, to bring the best out in you, and perhaps in me. So, I will accept substantial risk to open the door to cooperation and negotiation. And even if you betray me, in a not-too unforgivable manner, I will continue to extend my hand. And part of the way I will do that is by telling you what I am feeling. "

- From Beyond Order, Rule III: Do not hide unwanted things in the fog

When I was reading this, some thoughts were passing through my mind. If you can trust each other - hold each others hands - you both will gain a surplus in the present or future because of trust, or at least one will gain a surplus. So trust is based on voluntary action - be willing to hold hands -, in those words trust is "never" possible when one of the two parties obliges the other to trust. How can you have a honest, working and flourishing society when the one thing - trust - is not where it is searched the most? Money, how can we trust money and therefor governments when it is enforced to us? We need honesty and trust, in the free market we trust, that is why Satoshi Nakamoto gave us bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system.

What are your thoughts? Curious about other opinions, maybe a missed an essential part.
