In bitcoin, you don't even have promises. All you have is faith that some anonymous people will trade things that you can live off of for your bitcoin.
Maybe some people don't want to be part of a fraudulent, built-to-corrupt system where their money is inflated as there's demand for new loans. Maybe some people just want to use something that leaves room for questioning; that its usage is not forced to satisfy ones' interests; that provides free speech and freedom of choice.
There's a difference between trusting a system and having faith to a system: No one forces you the latter. You ought to respect those people who have different political beliefs than you. No?
