Trust is essential in life, there is no getting around it. The only thing that we can choose, is who and what to trust. The #Bitcoin network gives us the choice to trust thousands of smart, forward thinking people around the world (developers, miners, node runners, and normal users) with our money, our wealth, our time and energy, instead of a handful full of bankers and politicians. To me, that is far better than any central bank or government can ever offer.
