removed section describing the economic benefits of bitcoin. Do not want to add political and economic statements that are not easily substantiated and seem off-topic.

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.

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.

Reverting the mentioning of ATMs. While it's true, let's leave it to Andreas to update this chapter. We just finished half of 2014, and there is a lot that will change here in Bitcoin space. The previous sentence of using credit card is also already outdated
