Title: Bitcoin Whitepaper - Animated
Post by: titular on November 16, 2021, 04:18:41 AM
I came across this wonderful resource for those new to the space. If you have not taken the time to read the whitepaper or have but you are finding it difficult to understand, this animated edition of the whitepaper will help you visualize the concepts rather than just read about them.

Remember, every time you reread the whitepaper, you understand it a little more with each read.

It is exciting to witness that more and more people are making effort to explain to newcomers relatively complex aspects by employing simple and understandable language or well-made visuals. This animated version of the bitcoin whitepaper is an example of the approach that may be taken by educated people to try to educate those who haven't yet gotten acquainted with bitcoin. There are problems, however, in the version of the whitepaper presented on the website.

It is said in the title that "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" was published by Satoshi Nakamoto on Nov 16, 2021, which is nothing else but misleading information, of which people pretending to be Satoshi Nakamoto may potentially take advantage. The other problem that I noticed is a missing introduction. The most important thing newcomers should know is why Bitcoin was created in the first place, what problems it is trying to solve, what motives behind its creation. Without that understanding, they simply cannot go further and explore the technicalities of Bitcoin.

The animation was made today, and presented as something made by Satoshi Nakamoto which can really be a bit confusing for some total beginners. All in all, I don’t see how this animated version would help someone understand the content better, because the original white paper contains all those graphics.

Some will understand only when they read once, some will not understand even when they read a hundred times. For some, the language barrier is a big problem, so it is much better to translate Bitcoin white paper into as many languages so that as many people as possible can really understand it.

Great job work is awesome. It should be updated with official white paper to present bitcoin among next gen. to bring more awareness.

And to be honest, I was kinda bored when I open the website and checked the animation. I found it hard to check out the animation than reading lots of texts. It’s fine how it is now. Maybe I'm only one getting bored while checking it.

Whilst the visualization on the site is niceish, I hope people don’t get distracted by it in such a way that they take the content on the site for being a complete replica of the Bitcoin Whitepaper. It’s not. It lacks the Abstract, Introduction, and half of the Network section and subsequent subsections on Incentive, Reclaiming Disk space, Simplified Payment Verification, Combining and Splitting Values, Privacy, Calculations, Conclusion and References.

It’s clearly a demo of a tool, not a reference to use to the Bitcoin Whitepaper (for being partial in content).

I agree .
Too many things missing. I think the author should have clearly stated that some parts were ommited and that he created the animations.

I think it would also be better if he created new graphics and animations which could help total beginners to understand the concepts better. Soemthing like "beyond  the whiepaper " instead of just a copy paste of some parts.
