That still involves regulation, you have to regulate and make sure that people aren't labeling their eggs salmonella free without getting them tested.

At some level it comes back to regulation. It is part of why I feel bitcoin is misguided.

s/libertarianism/bitcoin/ and I agree with you as a Distributist.

As a Distributist, my feeling is that successful regulation supports decentralization. The problem with the regulation vs deregulation dichotomy is that regulation is usually pushed as a centralizing power, while deregulation is usually also pushed as a centralizing power.
