I recently read the white papers of both bitcoin and ethereum. I would definitely read bitcoin's white paper first. I actually read the annotated versions from Fermat's Library:

- http://fermatslibrary.com/s/bitcoin

- http://fermatslibrary.com/s/ethereum-a-next-generation-smart...

That site is obnoxious. I have habit of highlighting text as I read it. Every time I click on the text to highlight a huge tab pops in and out on the left side. Who thinks up this crap.

People who don't have a habit of highlighting text when reading it?

I do the same thing, reading articles on sites like medium is a nightmare since it demands I tweet my currently selected text. Annoying!

I have this habit too, and always wondered about it. Wish someone would have done a study on it.
