This is horrible advice. Being in the DefaultTrust network means you will influence others as to if certain members can be trusted with money, including sockpuppets that may or may not be public.
I disagree.Considering how members are selected does matter.For instance, The Pharmacist was added to the DT because they actively tag scammers/spammers which somehow adds to spam reduction.They can certainly be trusted with their tagging skills but not with the money as they don't have a history of doing so.Having said that,I'm not sure where you picked that definition of being on the DT from but atleast in 2018 it does not mean a DT member should be blindly trusted with money unless of course they have had records of doing it successfully.
Not to mention but MasterP's case is quite evident.
If you are in the Default Trust network, your "sponsor" should be able to trust you with an absolute minimum of 6 figures (USD) at the drop of a hat, however $1-2 million would be much more ideal.
What ? That is absolutely wrong.Speaking practically,you mean only people who can afford millions are added on the default trust ?
