Although whitepaper is one of the essential stuff for an ICO/IEO/STO project because of the deep information that we need to know, it can be faked as well. Anyone, even a professional scammer, can write a whitepaper by himself or hiring someone to do it.
They can design attractive roadmaps and some technical details in the whitepaper, but it does not guarantee that the project itself is legit. What we definitely need for a project to become legit is that they are backed by their respective legit mother companies.
I mean not all of the legit projects have mother companies though. Full transparency is what we need from them, especially the funds that they've raised from their smart contract addresses and the team themselves.

Good ideas from ICO indeed make us fooled even though the reality is inversely proportional, so before we participate in it we must analyze further about a project.
of course with the whitepaper that can be read by many people about the project being developed, unfortunately at this time the ICO method is no longer used and prefers to use the IEO method which in my opinion can have many advantages and has security guarantees from the exchange place. Good ideas from ICO indeed make us fooled even though the reality is inversely proportional, so before we participate in it we must analyze further about a project.
to ensure that all require a more thorough analysis. sometimes we become in a hurry to invest. because researching a new project certainly has many factors to consider.

One of the important aspect of a new project is the whitepaper. It is like a project feasibility where we can see the potential and technical write ups describing the project. Most new projects tend to do copy pasting on older project that becomes a norm for scam projects. But what if those project only reference it to those project due to similarity of idea would that be considered plagiarism still? I dont know but from what I can see, most investors refer so much on whitepaper so projects without it are being snobbed and considered scam.
But if you think about it, does it reallt be required even the concept is easy and common sense for a uswr to understand? Example exchange, we know how it works does it really matter if it has a whitepaper?

Investment wise, it's much lesser risk if you'll participate with projects that have existing products, project
where you can see developments and progress.
You are right, some projects that already have products and even those that already have a small-scale market are still doing development fundraising. when the project has a real product, it will get more trust from investors. where you can see developments and progress.
Now indeed we can not rely on a whitepaper in a project because nowadays many are faking whitepapers and convincing a project can run successfully i.e. the project by working with a company that runs real products and the project can certainly get the support of many investors, nowadays many such projects can get satisfactory results.
Project with actual usable product are mostly being supported by investors, whitepapers gives informationbut the actualization of said project depends
from how the team works and how they are managing their projects, there are lots of fake projects and
investors needs to sort it well before placing any investment.
It cannot be a reference that the whitepaper will go according to plan and in my opinion right now is not the right time to invest in ico or IEO. the risk is big enough better to choose investments in clear altcoin than we see new projects that still have the potential to fail and this is very risky

This is true indeed. When I translated the whitepaper of Epic Cash, it seems like Epic cash will be one of the most popular coin after bitcoin but in reality, it turned into a shit. It is very risky to invest in a project depending on whitepaper only.
When your browser Fiverr you will get information how much does it cost to make tailor-made ICO project, it costs only 1000USD in a total. But you can pay only for a whitepaper and some indians writers will write it for you only for 100USD - 200USD. So do you think that it has a real value when it is written by a person that specializes only in writing whitepapers?
With Whitepaper alone, I don’t know how accurate it would be to call a project good. Because the whole project should be seen, they have the ability to do some kind of development in the future or not. Now relying on Whitepaper, no one invests in any project. Everyone tries to verify the whole project and the team of the project.
just see ICO from Whitepaper? of course it was a waste of time, in my opinion the most important thing was not Whitepaper, but the strength of the project team
Whitepaper is very important for investors because it gives them the information they need about the project.This is also part of the things that is needed in making decision on maybe to invest. For instance I personally like reading the whitepaper because the narratives can depict about how serious the dev team are about the project. Unfortunately, most investors do not even bother to read whitepaper before making decision to invest. I also look out for details such as team pictures and profiles in order to check it for possible scam
In as much as the picture looks funny but that's the truth about ICO whitepaper or will I say majority of projects whitepaper be it ICO or IEO. Most team are good in writing a very good and catchy whitepaper but once the funds has been gotten, what they end up producing will be entirely different from what was written thus leading to the question of, what happened? Also, owing to this act of writing a good whitepaper and developing a different thing, most people nowadays don't bother reading them again, Instead they focus on the IEO, once trading starts they dump, move on and wait for another.
Lastly, it seems that, a reasonable number of old projects really produced what they promised hence the reason they are growing each day with more improvements while on the other hand, majority of new projects are always found wanting of doing a different thing altogether.

there are many investors out there who were deceived by WhitePaper ICO in 2018-2019, therefore many investors are now turning to IEO because it is more convincing to invest, but before that, we also have to analyze further too.
Nice pic, And not gonna lie it's pretty accurate 
, Because of the WhitePaper is written well, then i can't decide on investing on that coin without doing more research. I tend to look at the people behind the project. Their backgrounds, And if they are basically real and not just stolen identities. so looking at their partners and checking their roadmap then I can decide If it's a good project even just a legit one.

Picture is great, it shows that WhitPaper is just a part of what it's needed for one project to be successful. It;s never one thing
that people focus on, people have to check entire project, from the team members, their idea, WhitePaper, their road map, and
after you consider all factors you can be sure in some project.
Whitepapers are not the only consideration when investing in an ico, although important, other factors just just reassures ones confidence, like team, product, etc,.
whitepaper is needed for a good project. Actually some people never read whitepaper but smart investors always keep important whitepaper. Many scammers project can be copy whitepaper so after read a project whitepaper then you can analysis this scam or not. Otherwise team, products development are also needed if a project want successful ICO/IEO. At least we can reduce scam project if we can understand about it (trust project and scam project).
Whitepapers aren't big anymore, they aren't something you can count on when investigating a project anymore, I works in 2017 but now anyone can just forge a fake or plagiarized whitepaper, no a big deal anymore
Not to mention that as time goes by, it is becoming stale which lots of ideas copied from another project. To be honest, I personally think that whitepaper's purpose is just to track down fake and plagarized projects. They don't mean as much as the development and the implementation itself.

Most of the people who involve in crypto always looking the source of information in one familiar project, that's why we are so eager to look it in the form that we can understand, now early 2015 ICO has been born and they put the brain of the project on it, Today the whitepaper is just simply to hype people and making us believe on the beauty of their project which is more of the ICO project now failed to perform well.
I just gave you a few extra merits for this because I remember thinking it was extremely funny back when I first saw it way back when. We've come a long way over the last 2 years. Nowadays I only check white papers to see if they've been plagiarized. I don't really care about their actual idea already because everything that can be done under the sun with crypto and the blockchain has already been done. Very rarely am I inspired by new projects these days.
