Bitcoin whitepaper removed in macOS Ventura 13.4 beta 3

Apple removed the Bitcoin whitepaper

Apple quietly removed the Virtual Scanner II app and, with it, the Bitcoin whitepaper in the latest macOS Ventura 13.4 beta.

The existence of the whitepaper can be easily explained, as it may have been used as a simple test file that is a conveniently small size. The developer building the test app may have been a Bitcoin investor or inserted it as a joke.

However, as things seem to do on the internet, people began to speculate wild theories. One theory that’s spread quickly in the back alleys of Bitcoin Twitter — Steve Jobs is actually Satoshi Nakamoto.
