I think a major influence was "Wisdom of the Crowds" which was discussed in the SF / Berkeley tech community quite a bit back then. At some point that got combined with gambling. There's an old reference here dated 2007: https://www.overcomingbias.com/p/how_and_when_tohtml
There was the Cathedral and Bazaar stuff too, although that was less about markets and more about collective wisdom. Early FOSS culture was anticapitalist so the Libertarians had to frame things carefully.
