I don't recall "trustless" being one of bittorrent's main selling points? Further, to accept crypto as payment very much requires trust (or faith or belief or whatever you want to call it) that you later find some third party that is willing to accept your coins as payment, preferably with roughly the same value that you assigned to it in the first place. Awfully lot of trust flying around in a trustless system in my opinion.

You'll have to understand that the trust in 'trustless system' is in the technical sense. Think of traditional RDBMS versus blockchain for sharing data between two companies. The former needs trust because it is mutable and controlled by an admin. The latter is more designed to be 'trustless'. I hope your technical ability helps me here in conveying my point to you.
