Maybe this explains to a great degree why so many blockchain big names are Russian speakers! Because in Russia, we see trust as a bug, and any necessity to develop trust to anyone as an obstacle (because we know people really can't be trusted). There are high-trust and low-trust societies out there. Majority of the world lives in low-trust societies and this is culturally, not economically driven, so unlikely to change fast. Globalisation means these people will permeate - through migration too, but mostly, through cross-border economic activities - all high-trust societies, too, so very quickly people who rely on trust and trust others will either be scammed out of all their lives, or resort to a niche role by picking their interacting parties so diligently they will be cut off from most economic and social activity, and become irrelevant. So, for the modern world, trust is a bug indeed (and no i don't think blockchain will help this, or anything at all).
