I trust them more than the ETH Foundation 
When it comes to things of "value" why would you trust either of them?
Today you can do a lot with BTC online. Local shops are a different matter, but even now if you really wanted to go the BTC route you can get a debit card on Coinbase and have BTC deducted for transactions. This is a hacked work around, but I think more and more people will learn. You can do this same thing with gold today on Bitgold.
Getting out of the banking system is in everyone's best interests as they have setup one heck of a international crisis where currencies are going to go into freefall and they are going to offer up replacement regional currencies at a fraction of your current currency value with a massive centralized system of control. They want to end cash and anything outside of their absolute control.
Price controls, controlling what you can put in, take out, and what you can buy is all part of the game. Some of us have had enough of this banking monster so crypto, metals, and tangible assets out of the reach of these people is a smart move.
At some point when we stop thinking in terms of fiat we will have finally made inroads to where we want to be.
