Most bitcoin people I've met are very much in favor of everything free market, it's the goverments / central banks they don't trust.

You're looking at a group of 6 people that have relevant influence on bitcoin. You've still got centralized trust.

The fact that 6 people tried and failed to get their way should imply the opposite, no?

Bitcoin markets are a simulation of what would happen if you replaced the small group of people controlling governments and central banks with a small group of internet trolls, who held 95%+ of all available currency between them.

For very good historical reasons.
