Introduction - Relative Time Reference Fixed
Some lines are in the present tense, so the year is stated. For the others, years are used.

ch01: Acronym LN (mostly)removed (#261)
- I removed acronym from first sentence and put it into the second. I did not feel that it is a good start when the first sentence of the book already has an acronym.
- Removed LN acronym 4-5 times further down. It was not consistently used anyway. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I also think it reads better spelled out. So, for a book I feel it is better to spell it out 4 times, than to abbreviate it 4 times.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos 81dbdd9149 Fixes #132: Emphasized scaling problem over centralization problem
Centralization is still mentioned, but as an undesirable side effect. The first emphasis is on the limited scaling that can be done by simply increasing the block size

mainly drew a clearer distingtion between payments and transactions
transactions are what is happening on chain and technically speaking a data structure to be placed in the blocks of the bitcoin blockchain. While on the lightning network bitcoin transactions are being modified constantly and outside of the bitcoin network when making a payment we don't do transactions. 
At that point it is not important to understand the technical differences but I think we should already stick to the terminology that we will use later and throughout the book. 

Also added two sentences before the second sentence as I felt we went to the technical part / defintion too quickly.
