Thanks for your deep thinking perspective. My view on this.

Freedom vs safety discussion has developed itself in all aspects of life. The first is not restricted, like safety is.
With freedom comes for example the right of physical integriteit, the right of private ownership, (financial) autonomy etc.

Like the whitepaper states, the intention was to restructure the role of trust in society. I still think this element, the huge intrinsic trust as you call it, created Bitcoins value and therefore the adoption is an organic process that goes its own way.

How could that be accomplished? And what would that look like, this restructuring?

Trust is related with safety. However, safety, as you say cant be guaranteed. This aspect is important. Because over the years safety is much more presented in our life as a absolute value which can be controlled. The perspective of constantly aiming for less risks and more safety, untill a point safety is guaranteed and governable.

In the current time, the monetary system based on trust results from an illusion of absolute safety. This is where it goes wrong. If I am constantly seeking for less risks, more safety, while this safety can never be guaranteed, how can I come to a sustainable level of trust? In other words, people know of course safety is never going to be absolute guaranteed. But the constant seeking of it brings the illusion of an end goal which doesnt exist. Trust is then in a way achieved through the illusion of an end goal: absolute unrestricted safety. Therefore trust in the current form cant be maintained, as it is based on an illusion. I mean, you cant have it both ways.

One of the two needs to change. I dont criticize the constant aiming for less risks- mentality, in contrast I think it is good. Moreover, society is always going to keep seeking a life with less risks imo. However, by keeping in mind that absolute safety can never be achieved, the role of trust eventally will be organically restructured. Trust will be embedded in a different way so it can maintain the illusion of absolute safety. This actually means trust in people is disconnected from the illusion it initially was based on. The trust is restructured and the illusion of an end goal remains. The instrinsic trust of bitcoin makes it possible to abolish the dependencies and maintain the pursuit of less risks in life and thus the pursuit of happiness.

The huge intrinsic trust of btc that follows means also the whole game changes. Like, without dependencies you cant be send into a digital gulag for example.

Your second model of thought is surprisingly in dept thinking. I think with society and economics directly related, the more btc gets adopted the more it will have impact on society and peoples awareness. Because it is simply a whole other game. The current debt-economy results also from human-invented technologies, which for human kind is like a self-destruction path. While btc is the opposite, a way to higher consciousness. It provides a sort of ever lasting immunity for a monetary virus.
