One might ask, “Why is there a third edition of Satoshi’s words?” The simple answer is that new, or rather, previously unseen Satoshi writings have emerged publicly.
The “Hal Finney emails” cited above by CoinDesk in November of 2020 prompted version two of “Kicking.”
Then, in February of 2024, the “COPA trial” began with the possible identity of Satoshi Nakamoto at the core of the case. That trial called in individuals who had made early electronic contact with Satoshi to offer witness statements. As a result, new, previously private “Satoshi emails” became public. Hence, here is the Third Edition of “Kicking.”
I think that a chronological record of Satoshi’s writings is interesting, useful, and important. To that end, I’m committed to keeping this book freely offered and in several formats. See all the links at hive.blog/@crrdlx/satoshi to download or view a digital copy of "Kicking."
