Bitcoin Whitepaper Hidden in Every Mac?

In April 2023, a security researcher discovered that every version of macOS from 2018 to 2021 quietly included a PDF of the original Bitcoin whitepaper — Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System by Satoshi Nakamoto.

🖥️ The file was hidden deep in system files under the name simpledoc.pdf and wasn’t documented in any official Apple release notes. It remained unnoticed for years.

🤔 This bizarre discovery sparked wild theories:

Was a Bitcoin enthusiast on Apple’s dev team?

Was it an internal joke?

Or was Apple testing hidden file delivery methods?

📢 Apple never gave an official explanation, and the file was removed in later versions. But for a moment, the idea of Bitcoin’s origin text living inside every Mac made headlines.

💡 It reminded everyone: Satoshi’s code is everywhere — sometimes, even where you least expect it.
