      Preface

      I have, in all cases, capitalized the word Bitcoin throughout this book. The reason for this is simple. It is a proper noun. A specific word that exists distinctly from general nouns. Bitcoin is a particular name for a specific cryptocurrency. Although, it should be pointed out that Bitcoin came into being before the word cryptocurrency. You always have to be suspicious of a proper noun preceding the creation of a common noun.

      Some people go so far as to say that when the word Bitcoin is used to refer to a currency, it should be in the lower case, but I do not consider it, in any way, to be a currency. Therefore, no lower case will be used.
