Is trust more valuable than money?

[Fragrance1122]

You can earn back money but you will never be able to gain someone's trust back. For example you lose 5 thousand dollars in a bad deal. You can manage to get it back by one way or the other like working overtime or start again but if you lose someone's trust the doors might get shut forever. Reputation is a single street.

Money open the doors while trust keeps them open. You will be able to get your first meeting with an investor or partner while trust will give you repeat business and referrals. Money has the price while trust is the multiplier. Money is the tool but trust is the capital. What are your thoughts?

Well, I think it’s not even an argument weather money should be considered be more valuable than trust, it’s clear that trust can make you a lot of money that you never thought you’ll make in your lifetime, while money can’t buy trust. There is this saying that money can buy transaction, but trust buys loyalty and repeated business deals as a trust person often attracts opportunities without spending money.

This can actually be looked at from different perspectives, a lot of companies have kept theirs customer’s over the years not because of their price but the way they have entrusted their goods in their customers heart as customers trust the goods are the best. For example people buy some items more expensive from a particular company and ignore the less expensive companies because the company is trusted. I don’t want to write a very long epistle but this should not be up for debate as trust clears money.

I agree with you, OP. Trust, once broken, is very hard to rebuild. And people fail to see this. All they do is worship money. Trust can be rebuilt once broken, but it is very hard. If you had it easily given to you, you will spend another decade getting it back.

Money surely creates opportunities, but trust makes sure they last longer. I would prefer to lose money than trust. Trust is just as difficult to mine as Bitcoin.

Some people can still get to the top without trust. But it won't take long before they return to the ground. The very foundation of a business is trust, and most people take that for granted. Scammers use trust to scam their victims. At the end of the day, trust is more valuable than money.

It depends on the amount of money that got lost and how opportune the person is. There are many people that will lose money and not earn it back, there are rich people that can gamble with their money and die poor.

For example you lose 5 thousand dollars in a bad deal. You can manage to get it back by one way or the other like working overtime or start again but if you lose someone's trust the doors might get shut forever. Reputation is a single street.

Yes in businesses, trust is very important, but people are so gullible to the point that they can invest in ponzi schemes.

I think I agree with your point, because money alone can not buy you loyalty, good reputation and respect.  Someone can recover financially after a heavy lose, but once people begins to doubt how honest and reliable you're, regaining that confidence back will take a very long time. Meanwhile trust can not be lost forever, if the person accepts responsibility, stay consistent for a long period of time and changes it's behaviour. With these most relationships can be repaired but the hard part is that rebuilding trust always takes much more longer that losing it. For me I will that, a strong friendship and  businesses is not built only on money, but always being transparent, keeping promises that are being made and treating people right despite the fact that things are not going as planned or perfectly. This kind of trust is always the thing that will keep opportunities coming in all over again.

In business deals trust is everything. I can't give into a million deal contract with you if there's no form of existing trust that both parties are standing on. Honestly, in any business you must have to be genuine and sincere with every process of the way with your customers. You may succeed over one lie but you can't keep selling same lie to same people and they would continue buying it. One day you gonna be exposed and all years of work would destroyed in no time. This days,  good reputation is underestimated because a lot of business owners are sorting for shortcuts profit over long term standing.

​As humans we can build trust for many years, and one can even become famous from it. But thenif people around you aren't 100% being honest on if you are supposed to be trusted then one wrong move can ruin your entire reputation for good. That's just how life works except you have other means to ensure your trust doesn't end up wavering. Still it's best for us to consider our decisions before we make them, just to avoid regrets.....

​That said true there are some things far more valuable than money and trust is one of them. Still when a person does something outside what he or she is expected to do it's bad to just jump into conclusions that the person is a bad person, especially when it comes to money. Basically that is if you truly trusted the person. Well for me I like to view things from different perspectives just to be safe that's all.......

Trust is above all. When we compare trust with money, it looks bad. If a person loses his money, he may get it back. Physical illness may be cured once but once someone loses trust in someone, that trust can never be restored. For example, if you trust someone with some money or in that case, if he breaks your trust once, then you will not try to share money or tell him anything secret again because he has already broken your trust.
The same thing is true in the case of investment. If you trust someone once and invest, you will not trust him again.

Trust and money are two different things that both take time to find. This means that when someone loses money, they have to have time to regain it in the same amount. Likewise, when trust is lost, they have to have even more time to rebuild it. The difference lies in the difficulty, if not impossible, of achieving the same level of trust in others. Because when old trust has become bad, then for almost the rest of our lives it will be difficult for anyone to trust us again, that is why there is a very fundamental difference between money and trust in this life.

I'll put it very simply: it's very hard to earn a reputation, but it's very easy to lose it-and almost impossible to regain!
Yes, money is an asset that can be recovered, but reputation, essentially, is something you only get once, and when it's "ruined", it means you'll never have it again. And you have to understand-it’s often very difficult to maintain your reputation, there are temptations that can get the better of you....

Life isn’t meant to be lived badly. We’re born with the help of others, raised by others as children, and even at death, we’re helped by others. What I’m trying to say is, life isn’t meant for deceiving people. Be kind to yourself and to others.

Money is a tool, but it can be used to manipulate certain people into acting either well or badly. Today, we deceive people for a certain amount of money. When the victim realizes they’ve been deceived, they might stay silent and choose to work hard again, but rest assured that others will eventually find out about the deceiver’s actions, making it difficult to regain trust.
Regarding the topic at hand, my answer is that trust is more valuable than any amount of money.

Trust is one thing that, gives birth to money. There are actually things that are way more important than money and one of those things are trust. Trust is is one thing that we should not joke with because it's one of the things that opens the door of money, alot of people don't actually know this and is after making quick money without actually respecting others or even following the rules just because of money.


Trust lost is costly, many people has actually missed live changing opportunities simply due to the way that they live their lives with people around them. Many people has been given opportunities but due to neglegence and lack of what the trust given to them is all about, they abuse the opportunity not knowing that it's actually a privilege not a right.

This is the reason some investors don't use to be in an hurry to invest in bitcoin without arrangement of the capital to invest,  there are some investors out there that have bitcoin investment experience but they lack funds to invest, and it will be difficult for such investors to succeed like those that have the funds to invest in bitcoin, one thing I know is that when you are learning the investment, make sure you are preparing funds to invest because that is what will make you to test what you have learned from the investment.

Can't agree more, trust is harder to rebuild than earning money. But the main point of your post "money opens doors, trust keeps them open" only works in long term relationships, which is the first mistake many make, they think they are not here to do the business for long term. While they know they have made contracts and maybe they do not have to work with them, that's why many people do this, which is bad. They never know what good it can bring them if they just stay honest.

Although the real point is that, in any repeated game, reputation compounds the same way as interest does, and if we will burn it once, it can cost us more than the immediate loss which we might not even realize how high is?

If you are doing business then trust is the the first thing you must develop in the market. For instance, if you are owner of fast food restaurant and people have trust in you that you deliver tasty and hygienic food then nothing can stop you from earning money. While if you fail to win trust of your clients then no matter how much you invest in your business, you won't be able to generate good revenue. Once you develop trust then all your efforts must be in maintaining that trust because if you lose trust then it won't be possible to develop that again.

I think trust is a big deal. It is easy to gain but it can loss with in a second. There are people all over the world who capitalize on the trust of others and cheat them to become the owner of a lot of money, but in reality, there is no benefit in breaking trust and creating wealth. You cannot get that happiness on your own. Moreover, trust is something whose value if a person realize then never destroys the trust. Some people think that by breaking the trust of another, they have made a fool of him, but the reality is that the person who trusted you the most but you did not respect his trust. If someone breaks someone's trust, it can never be recovered with money.

Money does not hold that much value as trust is, trust is way more valuable then money, it is harder to earn and it is very easy to lose, where as on the other hand if you talk about money if you lose money we can easily on it and can be financial. Money is very important to fulfill basic needs and to have a better life but trust once broken in any sort of relationship can never be gained back money is a source to spend life where as trust on the other hand is a very long term investment and a long term asset.

If we talk practically then there are certain situations in which money become more important specially for those who are struggling to survive, struggling to buy single time food in a day, those who do not have proper access to health care or shelter then money become important and necessity for them but one they are done with the basic necessity then trust is the next thing that need to be there in their lives. I also think that as money can be rebuild again similarly trust once broken can be

You explained it very well, OP. Trust is crucial, it’s not easy to earn. Once it’s lost, it’s very difficult to find a way to restore it. That’s why we must do our best to maintain it. After all, we’re only human, maybe not right now, but someday we’ll definitely need help from those around us, whether friends or family. So don’t let a little money make you lose sight of yourself and betray the people who’ve helped you. Believe me, your life will only get harder if no one trusts you anymore.

Trust and loyalty are the few things that cant be bought thus making it way valuable and precious than money. Also trust can help you make money. Trust and loyalty combined will make you alot of money bcz without that no business could’ve ever worked out. So i believe trust and loyalty are the most precious things and shouldn’t be broken by us and refrain others from doing it too.

Trust can put you into a better situation even if you have no money. For the desperate people, money is everything. But for a wise man, he understands that if he's trustworthy, that is the valuable thing that he has to protect for himself. Not only for survival but for an honor as a human being. It's hard to give trust to anybody and people are not easily trusting others, and so if it's given to you and you're respected. That's hard to take back unless you do something crazy that's hard to believe. I'd rather be trusted than earn money in illegal money.
