If you own a Mac, Bitcoin's whitepaper is hidden in your files

Since 2018 every Mac running Catalina and above comes now included with Bitcoin's whitepaper

If you're using a recent Apple Mac, you're carrying on Satoshi Nakamoto's legacy.

Someone in Apple decided to include a pdf copy of the whitepaper in every macOS. To find it, open your Terminal and paste the following line:

The word around the internet

Some say that "a freely distributable, easily verifiable document was needed for testing purposes" (since It was released with the original Bitcoin release under the MIT license).

Others, wear their tin foil hat, and speculate that Steve Jobs or Tim Cook could be Satoshi Nakamoto. (Jobs died just 6 months after Nakamoto's last message and Cook has openly said that he has bought cryptocurrency)

Microsoft did it first

Microsoft Bob was a failed user interface for Windows 3.1.

However, when Microsoft was releasing Windows XP, on the CD there was about 30 megabytes of storage capacity remaining. So, to make it harder to download and pirate Windows XP (remember the super-slow dial-up connections?), Microsoft decided to fill up the space with Bob.
