Hey guys! I'm new to EOS and I'm just getting up to speed with it. Part of my study of it is to dissect it section by section. I thought it might be helpful to other newcomers so they know where to look for the facts they're looking for. So here, I'm dissecting the whitepaper and posting it in this subreddit. I only read it an hour per day. I'll post my dissections here everyday I read about it, then compile everything when I've read it completely.

I hope this helps! :)
