Well, not really, but you don't seem to understand what bootstrapping means. It's short for "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps", meaning you have no one to help you. Saying there's no bootstrapping problem _if_ you have one follower is a contradiction in terms.
There are ways around this, but no direct-propagation-based web of trust algorithm can do it, by definition.
