Following the release of macOS Ventura 13.4 beta 3 to developers on Tuesday, Apple has removed the Bitcoin whitepaper that was hidden in its system files. (9to5mac)
According to previous reports, Bitcoin Magazine tweeted that the Bitcoin white paper is pre-installed on Apple's Mac and MacBook series and can be opened through a simple terminal command or navigation Finder. It is reported that the Bitcoin white paper is used as a sample document for a device called "Virtual Scanner II". This device is hidden from some users or not installed by default. Some users speculate that Apple may earn commissions from Bitcoin transactions through related functions.
Some netizens tweeted that there is a possibility of infringement in the pre-installed Bitcoin white paper on Apple's Mac and MacBook series, and CSW agreed with this. Some people openly encouraged CSW to sue Apple on social media, although considering the company's financial and legal resources, doing so would almost certainly fail or backfire. It is worth noting that it was previously reported that technology writer Andy Baio first discovered that a white paper had been secretly hidden in Apple's macOS system since the release of the Mojave version in 2018. #askbinancesensei #bicasso #bitcoin #BNB
