You still have to trust the counterparty to deliver whatever the Bitcoin is being exchanged for.

  not with a multi-signature address acting as escrow. 2013 called and wants its arguments back

    In that case you still have to trust the escrow service.

      yes. its an adaptation to that economy and allows for mitigating risks. not a panacea the escrow service would be one party of the multisignature transaction. no party can move the funds on their own. you are moving an arbiter to the point of transaction, instead of after a transaction doesn't go as planned.

      Trust minimization instead of maximally trusting RBC with all of your money but also the counterparty to deliver.
