Verified: The Bitcoin white paper is being hosted by your Apple machine.

For machines running macOS Catalina or later, the Bitcoin white paper was discovered hidden deep inside Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) system files. The document, which has the filename "simpledoc.pdf," claims to provide Satoshi Nakamoto's concepts for a public ledger-based, decentralized form of cash on each of its nine pages.

On April 5, the world's oldest blockchain was subtly mentioned in the Waxy blog of independent blogger Andy Baio, who made the claim for the first time on the day of Nakamoto's 48th birthday.

"I was trying to scan a paper with my wireless printer/scanner, but when I just upgraded macOS, the device wasn't showing up in Image Capture. Only this "Virtual Scanner II" gadget, which I had never seen (or noticed? ), according to Baio, who spoke with Blockworks.

Baio asserts that the file is present in every current macOS version, but he is unable to articulate why it would be so closely guarded. By opening Terminal and using the following command, according to Baio, you can view the file:

open /System/Library/Image\

Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf

Apple newbies

He advises, "open Finder and click on Macintosh HD, then access the SystemLibraryImage CaptureDevices folder," if you are not an adept with Apple products. Click VirtualScanner.app with the control key and select Show Package Contents. Then, open simpledoc.pdf under the ContentsResources folder.

A further step is necessary to access the paper, according to Baio: "Choose the "Virtual Scanner II" device in Image Capture, then set the Details' Media to "Document" and Media DPI to "72 DPI." The first page of the Bitcoin document should be examined.

When Apple permitted non-fungible tokens (NFT) to be traded via apps on the App Store in the second half of 2022, it complicated the company's relationship with the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries.

The adjustment was made to make it easier to sell NFTs inside applications and incorporate tokens into next apps. In an effort to capitalize on the excitement surrounding the new technology, Apple decided to take a 30% split from App developers earning more than $1 million through its store and a 15% cut from those making less.
