|    Review of The Book of Satoshi by Phil Champagne (2014)
|    
|    Too often “best Bitcoin book” lists overlook this primary source gem.
|    
|    If you haven’t read Satoshi’s own words, you are missing the most formative part of Bitcoin’s history.
|    
|    Phil has done an excellent job compiling all the most important forum posts, emails, and correspondences Satoshi
|    exchanged with early cypherpunks and developers.
|    
|    You’ll be amazed by how many of today’s hot-button debate topics, from quantum computing threats to block size
|    limits, spam, and beyond, were already thoroughly hashed out in Bitcoin’s first few years.
|    
|    More than that, you’ll get a sense for the man himself. His tone of voice. His philosophy. His intentions for
|    Bitcoin.
|    
|    After the whitepaper, this is the text I recommend most to Bitcoiners seeking a deeper understanding of the most
|    important monetary innovation since the gold standard.
