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？
I didnt tallied it out but im sure i have read up lots of whitepaper since im an investor with potential ICO. I dont read up the whole WP but rather getting the main ideas or keys so that i would able to save up time and can still read other projects WP. Some people do read it up entirely but i would say it wont really be necessary to do such thing because you will consume too much time and might missed other potential projects.If you do like to diversify or utilize your time well then be wise on getting the key ideas of each project.
I don't know how many whitepapers i already read,
Before investing one of the main factors to read is the whitepaper, but it doesn't end there.
You need to know the team of their ICO, their platform and future plans (roadmap)
Don't settle with just white paper, as it says it is just PAPER over online. better be surer than scammed.
