PSA: It takes me hours to _properly_ read a 10+ page crypto white paper that lays out a multi-year tech+product+business roadmap. • Don't suggest someone read your WP if you wouldn't ask them to read a short book • It's okay to say no if someone suggests you read their WP

Saying that reading a white paper takes several hours doesn't even do it justice. The level of focus you have to sustain through the reading is also quite strenuous. It's worth it sometimes, but it usually isn't pleasant. I usually don't feel this way about academic papers, btw.

Yeah. Evaluating the combo of: 1. New combination of crypto and distributed systems 2. Ambitious product vision that makes major bets about future of tech 3. Business models assuming how market will evolve takes a lot of thinking and focus!
