Saying that trust can be abused and thus it should be eradicated entirely from social systems is cynicism, not realism.

There's a spectrum of social system development with regards to trust that has yet to be fully explored - centralized/federated "trusted" authorities in the middle, Bitcoin and most blockchains/tokens to the left (i.e. no trust at all) and some other form of p2p money or credit to the right (i.e. p2p, completely decentralized trust).

That the Bitcoin community doesn't even recognize that an entire half of space for innovation exists is what makes this mindset "destructive."
