In fairness, much of the Whitepaper probably needs re-writing now.
Since it was written there has been lots of learning and many (fundamental) changes to the protocol and philosophy.
I imagine there will be lots more changes to come in the next 7 months also. The roadmap (when it arrives) should give a better clue to the direction of the platform than the Whitepaper at this point.
Well the basics which I covered have not changed.
Also, there were no comics in the whitepaper. I wrote it for people just coming into Steemit, not for people who already understand it.
