[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/blog/1679447253155655279redian.jpeg) ## [TL; DR] Every MacOs computer shipped since 2008 has a hidden whitepaper by Nakamoto. The <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> manifesto document could have been included in the Apple computer as a sample of a PDF for testing purposes. You can access the BTC whitepaper using the Finder on the MacOs. ## Introduction The presence of the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in every Apple computer has baffled many people and there are different reasons for that. Therefore, all owners of Apple computers can access the whitepaper in their own PCs. This article will cover the possible reasons why the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper is in every Apple computer and how you can access it. ## Apple computers have <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper written by Satoshi Nakamoto The world has been surprised by the fact that every copy of macOS shipped since 2018 has the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper, entitled "<a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a>: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, written [by Satoshi Nakamoto](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/286 "by Satoshi Nakamoto").” Andy Baio,a developer and waxy.org writer stumbled upon the whitepaper when he was trying to fix a problem which his computer had. Baio confirmed that information on his blog where he wrote, “While trying to fix my printer today, I discovered that a PDF copy of Satoshi Nakamoto’s BTC white paper apparently shipped with every copy of macOS since Mojave in 2018. I’ve asked over a dozen Mac-using friends to confirm, and it was there for every one of them." ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/16825834681521682583245_.pic.jpg) <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper on Mac - Mcrumours The image above shows a <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper on Mac, which anyone can access. According to the available information anyone who has a Mac running macOS Mojave or a later version can access that whitepaper in his/her computer. Anyone with a macOS 10.14 or later should access the document in the Preview. However, Baio was not the first person to discover the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in the Apple computer. Already, there were queries in an Apple Community in 2021, asking about the presence of the document in macOS. Also, Joshua Dickens, a Twitter user and a former Apple product designer, discovered the [Bitcoin whitepaper](https://www.gate.io/learn/articles/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/286 "Bitcoin whitepaper") in the MacOS in 2020. Although he tweeted about it, many Twitter users did not take the issue seriously. At the same time, Dickens also discovered a photograph taken by Thomas Hawk named Warning Alarm System. Hawk took the photograph in 2008 on Treasure Island in San Francisco. ![](https://gimg2.gateimg.com/image/article/16825835111531682583261_.pic_hd.jpg) Warning Alarm System - Waxy ## Why did Apple include the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in the computer? There are several possible reasons why Apple included the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in its computers. For instance, Apple might have used it as a sample in the computer. To this effect, Baio said that the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper might have been used as a sample document for the Virtual Scanner in the macOS Image Capture utility.

") Other people believe that the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper was included in the computer as an Easter egg. This is because Apple has a history of adding Easter eggs such as "Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings" in its products.For example in its Macintosh operating system it added the playable versions Pong, Snake and Tetris. The whitepaper could have been included in the computer as a joke by a “<a href="/th/price/secret-scrt" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Secret</a> <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> maxi” who might have been working at Apple. Alternatively, it could have been included as a multiple page PDF for the purpose of testing the computer. Baio wrote on his blog, “The filename is “simpledoc.pdf” and it’s only 184 KB. Maybe it was just a convenient, lightweight multi page PDF for testing purposes, never meant to be seen by end users.” Apple could have also included the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in its computer because it is the oldest crypto [whitepaper in existence](https://www.gate.io/bitwiki/detail/61/white-paper "whitepaper in existence"). The inclusion of the whitepaper in the Apple computer is surprising considering that its former App Store director Philip Shoemaker had openly voiced his distrust for <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> which he called a Ponzi scheme. Apple also showed its hard stance against cryptocurrencies when it introduced a 30% App Store fee on crypto apps which developers protested against. However, recently Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, showed an accommodating stance towards cryptocurrencies. He even indicated that he owns some cryptocurrencies. ## How to access the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper in Apple computer MacOs has a <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper which you can access.

The pseudonymous person called Satoshi Nakamoto owns the <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> whitepaper, launched in October 2008.
