Recently, it was revealed that the Bitcoin white paper was embedded deep within Apple’s system files on macOS Catalina or later.
The document, named “simpledoc.pdf,” outlines Nakamoto‘s ideas for a decentralized currency based on a public ledger over nine pages.
Notably, the self-proclaimed Satoshi, Dr. Craig Wright, accused Apple of violating copyright laws by including the Bitcoin white paper on MacBooks. Wright is known for his controversial stance on asserting intellectual property rights over Bitcoin and its underlying technology.
