Bitcoin whitepaper found hidden in macOS with unknown 'Virtual Scanner II' app
atoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin whitepaper can be found in any Mac running macOS Catalina or newer, but no one knows why.
There are a lot of hidden files on macOS that won't appear unless the user is performing a specific function or test. However, most of these files are not meant to be discovered by average users.
Andy Baio, a blogger with an extensive history in the tech community, shared an odd discovery on his blog Waxy — the Bitcoin whitepaper can be found on any Mac running recent versions of macOS. It can be discovered via a simple Terminal command or by navigating Finder.
