That's actually a very good way of looking at it, and a very apt description. Truly, the less trust required of you, the more trustworthy you appear to be. In theory, that is how interactions involving Bitcoin should be considering that Bitcoin is a trustless protocol that relies heavily on transparency and openness. (Although, weirdly enough, people are more cautious online against thieves stealing their measly 0.01 Bitcoin than they are against possible identity thieves and sexual predators.)

Trust can also be accomplished by doing successful transactions. Every time a successful transaction occurs, some trust is build that the user is a legitimate trader.
