I beat this drum on HN and IRL and get tired of being downvoted for it. Trust is a lower energy state - it allows specialization, and conservation of energy that might need to be spent defending against threats from different directions. But people who hold anti-social ideas seem to indulge in thinking that they can create a novel system where they have no obligations, just privileges. Crypto prices going up causes these anti-social delusions to flourish because the increasing prices seem to validate the libertarian futurists fantasy of a world with no trade-offs, where we can avoid having responsibility to other humans.
