How do I find this group of people I trust? I suppose you mean a larger group of people than my closest family and a bunch of friends?

Can I possibly trust a group of anonymous people on blockchain more than an established physical bank?

No. I mean exactly on that scale. It could be friends and family, it could be your employer and your co-workers. It could be you and some members of your church.

My recommendation on Hub20 is "don't open an account in any instance unless you and the operator could knock on each other's doors".

Trust is a sliding scale. It's up to you to know how comfortable you'll be by leaving funds on the hands of each.
