Acknowledgments

I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND my profound appreciation to the following individuals for their contribution to this work:

Dustin Trammell (dustintrammell.com) for sharing email exchanges he had with Satoshi Nakamoto,

Gavin Andersen, Lead Core Developer of the Bitcoin project, for his contribution to Bitcoin and also for sharing his email exchanges with Satoshi Nakamoto,

Jeff Berwick of DollarVigilante.com for writing the foreword and for being an advocate of freedom and liberty.

For their support, expertise, input, and contributions, I would like to thank my son, Samuel, my daughter Vivianne and my wife, Marie Gagnon. And finally, I would like to thank all the people who helped me put this book together in particular Mary Graybeal, our editor who did a tremendous job and John Reinhardt who came up with this great design for the book.

And, lastly, a sincere thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto. Without him, how long would we have had to wait before such a revolutionary concept as Bitcoin was discovered and shared?
