The time gone very fast, today, people are not interested in looking the whitepaper, people interest is just only on how they earn very quick, they don't care the project they are looking the right timing when the developer may rug pull the money from investors, then they will ride the tide. Whitepaper won't matter most.
Currently traders are focused on quick profits from investments so don't consider the purpose of the whitepaper anymore because there is no guarantee the price will increase even though the team will launch the mainnet and we have reviewed many cases of other alt projects that the launch of the mainnet has no effect on the price increase, so they are more appropriate take low profits rather than bear losses with no potential for price recovery.
