The question is not "Do you trust bitcoin", it's "Do you trust the Bitcoin Foundation". The latter is an organization set up recently and is not involved with the original bitcoin creator.
Why would you trust a foundation anyway ? and trust it on what or to do what exactly ?
I don't think users or investors have anything to do with the foundation, the foundation is just an entity that is there to communicate on some stuff about bitcoin.
The foundation is free to promote anything it wants, and people are free to criticize or to believe it to their own risk.

The question has not a lot to-do with Bitcoin itself, it's mainly aimed at us believers who have a lot invested in these crypto currencies.
I'm personally wary of the foundation because some of the central members promote coin blocking and tracking, and I see this as opposite to Bitcoin's intended purpose.
Believers ? I don't think you should rely on belief.

Belief is no the same as faith.
I still have to be convinced about bitcoin about a peer reviewed research on the subject.
I'd trust it to make a transaction, but not to keep a wallet with many bitcoin on it.
