Was it Rose Kennedy who once said "Trust is something you earn, not something your are given?" If someone says, "Trust me", I immediately feel suspicious. Why should I trust them? Humanity does not need more trust to disappoint them, they need more smarts about whom to trust. I mean Hillary, really? How many went with that one?

The DELIBERATE effort to seed distrust in government(s) was done to lead to external governance and, if that stats are true about 75% is true, global governance. In this country, and others, a blurred sense or right and wrong coupled with a displaced feeling as institutions, not just government institutions, grow necrotic, mutating into things we cannot recognize. Its deliberate, its either reached its peak or approaching it, and has been going on for some time.

Who can legitimately trust government at any level? Who can legitimately believe a politician? Who can trust your pastor without reservation? Your neighbor? Your employer? The stores you shop at? If single, your date?

A concerted effort has been made to rock the pillars of society, to sully values that had made this nation strong and resilient. We are our own enemy and the only enemy that can truly kill the United States (look at the news today as evidence). I'm sure this sentiment rings true to varying degrees with other nations and their people, but I can only speak for what I know, America.

To answer the question "can we fix it", NO. We fix nothing. Each individual must fix their role in our society, their misalignment with American constitutional values, and only then will individuals be able to trust individuals again and, by extension, companies, institutions and government.

The trust problem, as shown in the article, is that 85% of the people don't believe that institutions such as "governments, corporations, NGO’s and media" are trustworthy.

The problem as I see it is that 15% of the people still do trust these institutions. What are they thinking??

...One important concern is how would it [ditital] fare when the electrical infrastructure goes down.
Yes, we gotta deal with that huge concern, e.g. EMP, but is that even possible?
Among other tragedies, it would wipe out all digital bank accounts! Even the internet would fail; communications become nearly impossible.

It all comes right along with the Great Global Collapse.

Is there really something called a "uint" or is that a typo? If it is a typo, then we can't trust the proof reader now can we? This blockchain (i.e.bitcoin) thing totally befuddles me.

Part of the problem with trust is that too much power and authority has been centralized in big national governments. In the U.S., the 10th amendment has been beaten to a pulp, with the Federal government draining the power of the states and municipalities like a huge vampire. Because of the extreme separation from the people it governs, empathy is seriously lacking in the Federal government.

I was encouraged at the response from the Attorneys General association, when all 50 of those state representatives announced strong opposition to Jeh Johnson's attempt to have DHS take over the states' election systems, citing their importance as "critical national infrastructure. Johnson and Obama cited the move as protection from hacking, but it was obvious that it was an attempt to steal yet one more vital element of states' authority. The rejection was resoundingly bipartisan, for once.

By contrast, President Trump is telling Governors and Mayors that he wants to restore control to local government as much as possible, so people can really know the face of those responsible. Whether he'll be successful remains to be seen, but it's an encouraging note.

Part of the trust deficit is laziness on the part of the public. If you don't pay attention to what your local, state, and Federal government is doing, and don't raise your voice to your representatives and in public forums about what corrections need to be made, it's easy to slide into a victim posture.

My response to your title is no.
Deception is running rampant on all levels.
