Bitcoin White Paper Discovered As Hidden File In Apple Computers
On computers running macOS Catalina or later, the Bitcoin (BTC) white paper can reportedly be found buried deep within the system files.
On all nine of its pages, the document with the filename simpledoc.pdf purports to present the ideas of Satoshi Nakamoto himself for a decentralized form of currency based on a public ledger.
On April 5th, which is also the 48th birthday for Nakamoto, an independent blogger named Andy Baio claimed for the first time that a subtle reference to the oldest blockchain in the world appeared on his Waxy blog.
Andy asserts that the document is present in all current versions of macOS, but he does not know why it is in such a hidden location. Nevertheless, it is possible to view the file, according to Andy, by simply opening Terminal and entering the command listed below.
Wanting to get in on the NFT hype train, Apple had officially allowed non-fungible token trading capabilities through apps on the App Store last year. With crypto becoming increasingly mainstream, many believe that the company will get more involved with the booming industry going forward.
