Whitepaper and road mad are nice and good things for a project. They tell you what is to be expected of in project especially if you are an investor. But then scam issues sprung up, recognizing the power and influence of whitepaper and road, came in and capitalised on it to defraud a lot of investors
And now it becomes difficult to trust whitepaper and road map, but it wasn't like that from the beginning.
The solution I presume now; lets take whitepaper to tell us what the project devs aim to achieve; dont use whitepaper as a reason for investment.
It is still the same thing mate, the reason why most investors pick up a white paper up is not just to read as newspaper, it is strictly with the intention of investing, so if they look out for whatever you ask them to look at for, it is still to decide whether to invest or not. So, when we use the whitepaper to check what the project aim to achieve, it will still be part of what will assist in deciding our investment before moving in to further research that will finally make us to conclude if the project is worth investing in or not.
