The relationship between trustfulness and decentralized is in how to work a system.

You can think about banks. They have a system based on database and it has a single point of failure. Thus, a hacker can access to system and handle thousand of transaction at his will. If a system has this disavantage, is centralized. For this two reasons, a centralized system CANNOT be consider decentralized and, at the same time, trustfullness.

Blockchain technology is consider like trustfulness and decentralized for the following reasons:

  • It don't have a single point of failure but it based on nodes;
  • Each transaction is public and everyone can read it;
  • Every nodes have a copy of ledger that prevent eventually malicious transaction and give a updated version about ledger in a specific time.

Hope it helps.
