"The White Paper does a good job explaining the mechanics of how Bitcoin implements deeper concepts of decentralization and "trustless" value creation, with due acknowledgment that the one thing that must be trusted is Bitcoin itself." - Kevin Werbach, Los Angeles Review of Books "an excellent primer" - Bruce Sterling, Wired "Merely by printing the technical document that opened up the world of crypto-currencies and treating it as an elegant, brilliant philosophical statement, Jaya Klara Brekke, James Bridle and Ben Vickers have created a truly unique reference point for the changes that could define this century." --Paul Mason, Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future and former BBC Economics Editor
