I think no matter if you are investing in any cryptocurrency project, you should start by consulting the whitepaper because you can get a lot of information from the whitepaper, such as whether its products are innovative, whether it is demanded by the market, etc. Second is whether its team has the real ability to complete this project!
Bro, the newbie might not understand anything if he reads even the best whitepaper. I guess that the beginner should start with the self-education. He must learn everything about the crypto world.
