Bitcoin white paper quietly removed by Apple from latest MacOS beta: Report
The Bitcoin white paper has secretly shipped inside all versions of the Apple Mac operating system since 2018. The world’s largest tech company has quietly removed the Bitcoin (BTC) white paper from the latest beta version of its operating system upgrade. On April 25, the Apple-focused news site 9to5Mac reported the Big Tech firm had removed a test scanner app called Virtual Scanner II in the latest MacOS Ventura 13.4 beta, and subsequently, the Bitcoin white paper is gone. As reported by Cointelegraph, an April 5 blog post from technologist Andy Baio revealed that a PDF copy of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper PDF had shipped with every copy of MacOS for the past five years. The document was found within Virtual Scanner II in macOS. Nobody knew why it was there, but it was suspected to be “just a joke among Apple engineers,” the report added. Other wilder conspiracy theories have emerged, such as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs being Satoshi Nakamoto, Apple Insider reported. Apple
