  White paper doesn't really matter in this regard. Bitcoin has been praised for years as a potential replacement for fiat currency, and the people doing the praising would use speed and low cost transactions as the hallmark of Bitcoin. The white paper is nice for getting an idea of how Bitcoin works.

    You know that the people doing the praising are not affiliated with Bitcoin itself, right?
