I'm sorry, there is absolutely no way to verify for certain that this is correct.

It's like comparing Bank of America and Bitcoin.

One I trust, but someday they might break that trust.

Bitcoin is code.

Any of the early bitcoin people could break bitcoin at any time by flooding the market.

Your trust is easily gained!

That doesn't actually break bitcoin - the end result is a redistribution of funds, not exploitation of a flaw of the protocol. The underlying system is still sound.

Yeah but code is code. It can be manipulated and attacked, but I don't doubt that the letters on the screen are in fact the letters.
