But then one day, a guy called Satoshi landed on the island and told everyone about block-chains. Nobody had any idea what he was talking about, so he showed them how if they all agreed to a set of immutable rules, they could all live happily.

Collectively, the community decided upon the smallest number of voluntary rules to live by. Simple rules like

• We will trade between each other when it is mutually beneficial
• No coercion

They all agreed, but later down the road, Ben tried to start raising the toll prices again. Mises and Friedman decided to stop trading with Ben and only between themselves.

Mises and Friedman soon became economic powerhouses of freedom. While they had to take longer less efficient routes transporting their resources, they worked within their limits and carried on.

Ben then lowered his toll price inviting Mises and Friedman to start trading with them again. But wouldn't you know it? Mises and Friedman were well aware of his tricks and his bad reputation, they said "no."

Ben's town quickly fell apart as everyone left to join the free and voluntary towns of Mises and Friedman.
