Key Points:

  • Users must open a Terminal on their Mac to access the Bitcoin whitepaper and type in a specific command.
  • Despite this revelation’s attention, very little information about this hidden feature is available online, adding to its mystery and intrigue.
In recent news, Watcher.Guru, a popular technology news firm, has claimed that the Bitcoin whitepaper is hidden on every Apple MacBook computer running recent versions of macOS software.

This revelation has caused a stir in the cryptocurrency community, with many wondering why such a hidden feature exists and what it could mean for the future of Bitcoin.

As the world’s first decentralized digital currency, Bitcoin has become increasingly popular in recent years, with many investors and businesses adopting it as a means of payment and investment.

Bitcoin Whitepaper Hid On Every Apple MacBook Computer

If you’re an Apple MacBook user running recent versions of macOS software, you may be interested to know that the Bitcoin whitepaper is hidden on your computer. The whitepaper is the original document that introduced Bitcoin to the world, and it was published in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

To access the Bitcoin whitepaper, you need to open a Terminal on your Mac and type in a specific command. Here’s the command: open /System/Library/Image\\\\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf. If you’re using macOS 10.15 or later, the Bitcoin PDF should immediately open in Preview.

Bitcoin Whitepaper Hid On Every Apple MacBook Computer

An independent blogger, Andy Baio, first reported that on the day of Nakamoto’s 48th birthday, a subtle reference to the world’s oldest blockchain was made. This reference can reportedly be found on recent versions of macOS software used in Apple MacBook computers.

What is the root?

One theory is that the Bitcoin whitepaper was chosen simply because it was a convenient, lightweight multipage PDF for testing purposes and was never meant to be seen by end-users. The file name of the whitepaper, “simpledoc.pdf,” is only 184 KB, which further supports this theory.

Despite the attention this revelation has received, very little information is available online about this hidden feature. There are only a couple of references to the “Virtual Driver II” or the whitepaper file in Google search results. This has led many to speculate about the reasons behind this lack of information and whether there may be a deliberate effort to keep this feature hidden from the public eye.

It is suggested that someone internally filed this issue almost a year ago, and it was assigned to the same engineer who put the PDF there in the first place. However, there has been no action or comment from that person since. This only adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this hidden feature.

It remains unclear what the purpose of this hidden feature may be, but some have suggested that it may be related to the “Import from iPhone” feature. Until more information becomes available, this will remain speculation.
