I personally use bitcoinwisdom all the time to watch/analyze prices over the exchanges

You can buy bitcoin using Purse.IO.
However I do not think it's a good idea to add purse.io to ways you can buy bitcoin because there is a chance that at any moment Amazon can shut them down and then the comment will become obsolete.

I took the Coinbase description from their own about page.  They are not an exchange, since you do not exchange bitcoin with other users, you buy and sell it directly with Coinbase.  The big value they bring is making it easy to use bitcoin.

Identifying the potential pains that Bitcoin can solve, quantifying how big of an impact the innovation can really have.  This should hopefully get the reader excited about the possible power their code can have, and encourage them even more to learn more about Bitcoin.

4079a650cd Update ch01.asciidoc 
As I read through the history of Bitcoin section I kept asking when are you going to get to the part about Bitcoin.  I think half of that section is really events leading up to Bitcoin, as well Bitcoin didn't have any history until it was invented.

Maintain consistency.  If you're gonna show an example bitcoin address, should show an example private key.  It also helps to understand it further when you can see an example.

e8f4ab417a Update preface.asciidoc 
I think it's better to explain the value and usage of a fee, instead of a more technical definition that identifies how it works.
It is possible for a transaction to be processed without a fee.

I added here an additional novel feature of VeriCoin that directly relates to bitcoin, as an example how alt-coins can co-exist symbiotically with Bitcoin in the market.
