  If the "Bitcoin is about distrust" meme catches on it serves the interests of those that employ and empower him.

The immediate antidote is not to reaffirm that no one trusts him or the bankers, (that just reinforces what he's trying to do, capture the middle of the road people who want to be good trusting citizens and not upset the apple cart).

The antidote is to immediately ask why on Gods green earth we *should* trust them ? 
He conflates the perceived success of the west with banking and the inflated money supply, that trust pools between m2+ layer underwritters and cantillion, is the same "salt of the earth" trust between average people and their institutions.

It's also a hard argue against tis claim without exposure to the Austrian school.
