I have a theory, if I can read cryptocurrency white papers, maybe in the long run I will be able to write a white paper, because by reading how they are initially written, their structure, technical explanations up to a point of view, and all the elements that a white paper has, I should be able to have notions to write one, what do you think?


In the technical sense of things, writing a whitepaper requires quite an amount of technical knowledge about the product to be described. Often times what we see in this industry as whitepapers are plain business proposals and have literally no way of holding qualitative information about a project in the essence of the objectives whitepapers represents. So for you to be truly skilled in writing a whitepaper goes beyond having read a couple (simply because of structure), but has more to do with the general standards of what the whitepaper should look like.

Case in point, compare the earliest whitepapers such as the Bitcoin or Ethereum whitepapers and most of the others which existed in the 2017/2018 period. You'd discover a world of difference in their structure.
