I put my trust in faith and karma.  If I put out good vibes they will come right back to me.  No need to live full of suspicion.

In other words, Bitcoin is like Paypal. Don't send money to unverified strangers.
it's not necessarily about trust, but due diligence.

use a phone book, make sure the name matches the address, and the phone number is real. Call them.
Same thing people do with PayPal when verifying customers.

People who are identified won't be very likely to scam you.

I think we need something like banks to keep bitcoin secure.

Something between individuals with offline wallets, and the online wallets.

Online wallets are too juicy of a target, and offline wallets are too non-userfriendly for the average person.

But I'm stumped how to actually incarnate such a system.

Trust people you only know offline, but don't trust strangers. We are no longer monkeys.

Good advice, paranoia is good, keeps you on your toes, TRUST IN BITCOIN and no one else, well... Maybe someone else but just be careful people, obviously.

If you don't trust anynone, well.. you will never do any bitcoin transacion, because of fear of getting scam..
That's why we use escrow service and so on.. All these little tricks help us to going on even if you don't trust your vendor..

I understand what you're saying and I agree mostly, but I've had some coins disappear back during the whole MyBitcoin fiasco and it just left a bad taste. I try and keep them all offline and encourage others aswell.
