Summary:

The assertion that one doesn't need to trust anyone to use Bitcoin is disputed because users rely on trusting the mining system and Bitcoin developers to a certain extent. There are different levels of trust required, and terms like "trustless" and "decentralized" simply indicate an acceptable level of trust in the system.
