What is a White Paper?
Screenshot_20190320-094143.jpg

A White Paper is an authoritative report or guide that is designed to persuade investors about a specific Cryptocurrency project or coin.

The best-known White Paper is the Bitcoin paper that was released by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in very late 2008.

Satoshi released the paper and proved he could not only solve the double spend problem which has never been able to be executed before in 30 odd years of cryptography, but he also showed we could send money legally outside of the banking system via a peer to peer distributed network.

The Bitcoin White Paper is a genius piece of work which explains and demonstrates precisely how the Bitcoin project is the perfect form of money!

White Papers are designed to educate investors, some are very technical, but provide proof on how the technology should work.

Still to this day, with all of the hundreds of White Papers I have read, nothing compares to the technology of Bitcoin. Ten years later and most projects all try to be the new bitcoin, but none have succeeded so far!

I hope you get some value from this and learn something new about Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and the technology that will change our lives for years to come.
