Have really been thinking this for a quite a while now, those whitepaper of any projects really tells us what the project all about. Are they transparent enough to have every project goals in the whitepaper. A lots of projects are out there with nice whitepaper but they eventually failed. How come, what causes the failure?
Some scam ICOs are actually just copying other legitimate ICO's whitepaper. That is why I think it is a total waste of time to believe what is fully written on the white paper. You will only know if the team is really honest with what they promise to investors once they are really in action in developing the project.
