The <a href="https://finbold.com/milestone-bitcoin-whitepaper-is-now-available-in-40-languages/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin white paper</a> was found buried deep inside Apple’s (<a href="https://finbold.com/stock/apple-aapl/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NASDAQ: AAPL</a>) system files on computers running macOS Catalina or later. The document, which has the filename “simpledoc.pdf,” purports to present <a href="https://finbold.com/guide/satoshi-nakamoto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Satoshi Nakamoto’s</a> ideas for a decentralized form of currency that is based on a public ledger on all nine of its pages.On the day of Nakamoto’s 48th birthday, an independent blogger named Andy Baio claimed for the first time that there was a subtle mention to the world’s oldest blockchain on his <a href="https://waxy.org/2023/04/the-bitcoin-whitepaper-is-hidden-in-every-modern-copy-of-macos/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Waxy</a> blog on April 5.<blockquote>“I was trying to scan a document with my wireless printer/scanner, but the device wasn’t showing up in Image Capture after I upgraded macOS recently. Just this “Virtual Scanner II” device that I’d never seen (or noticed?) before,” Baio <a href="https://blockworks.co/news/apple-bitcoin-white-paper" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">told</a> Blockworks.</blockquote><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/814b87bb89314f93bef7de65cd4e8a94.jpg" />Bitcoin whitepaper preview.

According to Baio, you may see the file by opening Terminal and entering the following command:<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/srd-optimized-uploads/1a77a834d398488c91ccc3a4c3e21f3f.jpg" />Bitcoin whitepaper command.

Control-click on VirtualScanner.app and choose Show Package Contents, then go to the ContentsResources folder and open simpledoc.pdf.”Baio adds that there is an additional step required to access the document: “In Image Capture, select the “Virtual Scanner II” device, and in the Details, set the Media to “Document” and the Media DPI to “72 DPI.” You should look at the first page of the Bitcoin paper.”Apple’s relationship with the <a href="https://finbold.com/topic/blockchain/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> and <a href="https://finbold.com/guides/cryptocurrency/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> business is complicated when the company allowed non-fungible token (<a href="https://finbold.com/guide/how-to-mint-sell-nfts-non-fungible-tokens-explained/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">NFT</a>) to be traded via apps on the App Store in the second half of 2022.The change was made to facilitate the sale of NFTs inside applications and the incorporation of tokens into future apps. Apple opted to take a 30% share from App developers earning more than $1 million through its store, and a 15% cut from those making less, in an effort to monetize the buzz around the new technology.Read more cryptocurrency news on <a href="https://finbold.com/category/cryptocurrency-news/?utm_source&#61;CMC&amp;utm_medium&#61;social&amp;utm_campaign&#61;CMC&amp;utm_content&#61;long" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Finbold.com</a>.
