Discussion
I have to verify that
Cameri the analyst
I just checked and it’s legit🤣apple❤️btc?
It’s legit!!!
Someone there does.
🍎💜🌽
Tim Cook personally owns bitcoin. He said in an interview on CNBC
Yah but personal opinions ≠ company opinions, if apple officially stated they were investing in btc think of all the people not already in the space they hold apple in such high regard yk. It would definitely be a change of pace orange pilling people 🤣🤣
Do you think they’ll delete the file?
I think they will have to, I really hope they don’t because of what I said just now, but I feel like apple will do what the government tells them to and obv the government is very anti btc rn
Wozniak: Bitcoin is a mathematical miracle
purity*
He did say mathematical miracle another time & why Bitcoin, not crypto

Personally couldn’t find it tbh even on terminal
Going to attempt to find it when I get to a terminal.
That code on the website didn’t work for me, perhaps I need to upgrade to the newest macOS for this trick to work
open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf
There is a space before Capture
Wish we could zap whoever is responsible for this! It’s easily the most valuable file on my Mac.

When does Craig Wright sue Apple 😂
Which means there's at least 100million copies of it spread out around the world (going solely by sales numbers - doesn't account for older mac's that have been updated). This probably makes the Bitcoin white paper one of the most prolific digital documents, ever.

Remember this. The people you're trying to step on, we're everyone you depend on. We're the people who do your laundry and cook your food and serve your dinner. We make your bed. We guard you while you're asleep. We drive the ambulances. We direct your call. We are cooks and taxi drivers and we know everything about you. We process your insurance claims and credit card charges. We control every part of your life.

So don't fuck with us.

I’ve known about this for a while now I just don’t remember who posted about it
Had to personally verify. Verified.

Mad respect for Apple
Quite an Easter egg 🪺 
It works!
✅
bitcoiners are everywhere…in every country…in every company…in every government
I have access to some machines still running 10.13.6, and it doesn’t seem to be present on that version. Anyone able to check 10.14?
Pre-Easter Easter egg!
Sick 🤙🏼

Apparently Satoshi’s work of art is fine to dump on our storage without permission but U2’s work of art is not?!?!
Yeah that checks out
Confirmed
"One other oddity: there’s a file called cover.jpg in the Resources folder used for testing the Photo media type, a 2,634×3,916 JPEG of a sign taken on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. There’s no EXIF metadata in the photo, but photographer Thomas Hawk identified it as the location of a nearly identical photo he shot in 2008."
Amazing
Make sure to type a space before Capture !!!
Time to call Tim and find out why #[1]
Geee it IS there indeed!
Wow, wow, wow! Verified 🔥
Confirmed! 
Holy shit. It’s there.

I asked my friend who has a Mac to check and it popped up for him. It's true. With 100 million macs around the world, Satoshi's white paper might be the most prolific digital document of all time.

😎🫂✅
That's quite something 😅
🤯
Interesting! Why does it it feel comforting knowing the white paper is available with the OS. This is some digital religion level work.
Not there on 10.11
Confirmed
how am i just learning this 🤯
😳 verified
Verified!! That’s crazy!
Super cool
Wpuld be nice to see apple destroy Craig wright in court :)
Confirmed!
And what’s more, love that this story lands on Satoshi’s Birthday. #Serendipity
If this isn’t true about pruned nodes in macs, it will be true with future OS Implementations. Maybe PureOS will be the first OS to ship products with the first pruned bitcoin core software
Just found another Easter egg.. my latest edition of where's Waldo 👀 white paper spotted.

Satoshi works on Apple?
fkn legend!

Plot twist: Steve Jobs was Satoshi Nakamoto.
🤯
I bet it was Tim Apple
🤯 can verify that this works haha
🤯
Correct!
Just verified, it’s true!
Hey guys, found the OG source here:

Someone working at Apple is a bitcoiner. This is great.
#[0]
Better not tell what's-his-face or he gonna be big mad!
Someone there is worried about all that cash sitting in the treasury, they should listen.
I guess dudes at Apple are finally sick of scammer marketing shitcoins and want to do something right.
macOSのすべての最新のコピーにビットコインホワイトペーパーが隠されています

What if Steve Jobs is Satoshi Nakamoto?
I mean I can’t love him more than I already do, whether it’s him or not, but we all know he was something else 🧠💗

Let’s go Woz tap Tim let’s get that self custody wallet moving.
Amazing 💥
What does this mean?
That heroes do exist?
And they walk amongst us, hidden from sight, and do not seek glory 😁
It’s there dude. I had to enable MacBook HD in finder settings.
Then followed the steps via corns post #[4]
Still blown away by this. I found it on my own device and just stared at it for awhile. 😂
Confirmed!!! Maybe simply because this PDF has the least possibility of copyright issue?
Lord Jesus 🙏
9 page pdf confirmed 🤯
On my M1 Macbook Air too 😱
🤩 What the Hell ??
☑️
Bitcoin is eating the world! 🙌🏻🧡
Wow
haha amazing, I just checked 🤙
Had to see this for myself. Shocked 🤯
#[0]
so what is in that “numbers.pdf” file?
🤙
Ha ha maybe Satoshi was Steve Jobs 🤪
Update: A little bird tells me that someone internally filed it as an issue nearly a year ago, assigned to the same engineer who put the PDF there in the first place, and that person hasn’t taken action or commented on the issue since. They’ve indicated it will likely be removed in future versions.
I like the whole idea
True
Seems like the white paper really is everywhere (apart from in Craig Wright's drafts folder in 2007-2008, of course)

Crazy
Just convinced my wife to buy more Bitcoin by showing her this trick.
Now that's a sick Easter egg.
