Andy Baio Discovers Bitcoin Whitepaper in Apple’s MacOs

Several years after its creation, the enigma about the creator of Bitcoin persists. To try to unravel the mystery, the technology blogger begins some research. Recently, he made an important discovery: the existence of a white paper on bitcoin in PDF version in Apple’s MacOs. It is more exactly a copy of the revolutionary white paper by Satoshi Nakatamo.

According to the article published by U Todaythis precious treasure would be integrated into MacOs systems from the Mojave version of 2018. Andy Baio confirms however that the Bitcoin whitepaper is present in all MacOs versions dating from 2018. This from the Mojave version to the Ventura version.

A secretly hidden document in Apple’s MacOs

Faced with such a situation, many wonder about Apple’s real motivation in secretly including such a white paper in its system? Is it intentional?

Apple CEO Tim Cook, being a cryptocurrency owner, wonders if the decision to hide a bitcoin whitepaper was intentional or not. If it is intentional, what reason would have prompted Apple to react in this way?

It is also possible (but unlikely) that Apple never decided to include this document in its MacOs system. It would just be an oversight. Until now in any case, Apple did not provide any explanation on the existence of this white paper in MacOs systems.

In a way, Apple paid a nice tribute to Satoshi. This technology giant would have contributed in its own way to the popularization of Bitcoin. However, the real motivation for inclusion remains open to debate.
