At the beginning of April, we wrote regarding him as a tech blogger named Andy Baio accidentally spotted that the Bitcoin Whitepaper is hidden in all the new macOS. The document was first published in version 10.14.0. We wrote then that it is still available as a sample file for an application. The fun lasted until now, because on April 25, an Apple news site brought the sad news.
Apple moved quickly on the Bitcoin whitepaper
The fresh news Apple has removed the Virtual Scanner II app from the latest macOS Ventura 13.4 beta. Thus, the bitcoin whitepaper is no longer in the system. After being there in everything MacOS for the last five years. To this day, no one knows why it was there among the sample files of Virtual Scanner II, the most likely theory is that some Apple employees were just having fun. Of course, there were more far-fetched theories, one according to which Steve Jobs himself was Satoshi Nakamoto.
However, it is now certain that Apple’s executives did not like the presence of the bitcoin whitepaper so much, because it is no longer available. The document was under a completely different name, in one of the application’s libraries, among PDFs and images. Therefore, most cryptographers believe that it was never intended for anyone to find the document. Another recent news related to Apple is that a California court ruled once morest the company in an important case. This started because Apple tried to force NFT makers and developers to to use your own payment platform for a 30% commission.
