user81360: In the Introductory page of the book 'Attack of the 50 foot Blockchain', the author says (in reference to Ross Ulbricht) : 

A young physics student starts a revolutionary new marketplace based on
  the nonaggression principle, immune to State coercion.

What does the author actually mean by that please?

user81380: Book author here! It's because Ulbricht subscribed to the tenets of Anarcho-Capitalism, and founded his drug market as an exercise in ideology. As it happened, the FBI didn't find this a compelling excuse.
