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.

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.
