trust is certainly based on reality, and the reality of bitcoin that starts from zero and becomes very expensive is what makes people think, ask, and finally believe that bitcoin has value and is worth having. If you follow the words of others, you will feel that you are in the middle of an ocean that will be swayed by a sense of confusion, because not a few people do not like bitcoin. Maybe because I want to get bitcoin at a low price or other factors, I don't know for sure.
