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.
In as much as reading through the white paper is not the only tool when Fundamentally assessing a project. It's always good to read the white paper to have a background knowledge of the project. No good or bad project is without a whitepaper. Yes, white paper is still a thing .
