>you aren't any more free than you were under the banks, you're just beholden to a different master - the people who maintain the cryptocurrency networks.

Exactly. Bitcoin just like fiat is backed by trust in those who run the network. Bitcoin doesn't solve many problems as a store of value right now if you trust the government not to print trillions like they did after the 2009 crisis.

If you don't trust the developers, don't trust the coin.
