Before investing in any projects, do you research their team information and read the whitepaper carefully? Or will you get a basic knowledge of the financial condition of the company?
Im afraid to read the answers on this thread. But hopefully people will learn from their mistakes. In the end is just money.
I don't think it's that surprising to see that most people don't read the white paper. Especially considering the kind of questions/threads we see here.

But I have to admit that I haven't read most whitepapers thoroughly and carefully either. Either I've quit half-way through (dislike the project, etc.) or for some other reason. Sometimes I just skip the one-pager whitepaper and that can be enough.
