For a crypto beginner like me is the so-called whitepaper some I should count on when doing research? people are still talking about the whitepaper of crypto projects but few people said it doesn't matter.
For sometimes it matters because you can see the whole break down on where there project heading as well you can also see if they just put a serious details and not copied ones. But don't give to much weight on what they have written on the whitepaper because for sure not all the project will follow it and also even if how good they are base on their whitepaper their are tendency that they turn scam so best do always your due diligence and always secure your money or profits upon putting up your investments on risky projects around.
