The Bitcoin white paper has been hiding in plain sight on Apple computers.

Blogger Andy Baio recently revealed that an innocuous file, “simpledoc.pdf,” included as part of Apple operating system MacOS, contains a copy of the foundational text of Bitcoin, written by pseudonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.

“While trying to fix my printer today, I discovered that a PDF copy of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper apparently shipped with every copy of macOS since Mojave in 2018.” Baio wrote on his Waxy blog, “I’ve asked over a dozen Mac-using friends to confirm, and it was there for every one of them.”

Although Baio uncovered the mysterious easter egg on Satoshi Nakamoto’s purported 48th birthday, April 5th, 2023, it’s not the first time it’s been sighted. Twitter user Joshua Dickens, a former Apple product designer, first discovered the white paper lurking in MacOS in 2020, but his tweet did not gain much traction.
