Most people who say “read the whitepapers” aren’t reading the whitepapers
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I’ve been reading the beginner threads these last couple of days where a beginner asks a simple question and people usually answer their question but whenever a beginner asks something along the lines of “how do I know the pros of X coin” or similar, there are people who just respond with dyor or read the whitepaper. </p> <p>Most people I know who say read the whitepaper are actually not reading the whitepapers. How do I know this? Well because I’ve read a few and even though I’m a very tech savvy person, I still understood close to nothing from these papers because they are written in such a hard way that only people with advanced CS knowledge can understand. </p> <p>So what am I getting at here? I’m just trying to say that reading the whitepaper is a lot easier said than done and suggesting a beginner to read one will only do them harm. They won’t understand it, they will instead go on youtube where they’ll fall for bitboy’s scams and will invest in shitcoins. </p> <p>Don’t advise beginners to read the whitepapers unless they are very experienced in CS is what I’m trying to say.
