The concepts of "trust", verse , "trustlessness" are standard Bitcoin related conversations. Bitcoin is unique, because, for once, it has introduced a tool, to limit the amount of trust we have to use in internet communications like transactions with money. It has also put a spotlight on the concept of trust for society.
There is really no such thing as trustlessness in the world. In fact humanity cannot function without trust as its basic core. Bridges, laws, policing, and all sorts of proffesions are examples of where we must trust every day. Our Our food system comes with massive trust. THE ONLY thing we can really trust is God.
I think that one of the major core wins for Bitcoin will be that it makes humanity more careful and cognitive about who and when to place trust. It will also teach us to trust ourselves with money and security again.
