As reported earlier by Watcher Guru, every Apple Mac computer with the latest macOS software has a hidden copy of the Bitcoin (BTC) whitepaper. The revelation was exposed by independent blogger Andy Baio. The development has generated a lot of interest and buzz among Bitcoin (BTC) and Apple users.
While BTC fans are ecstatic about the news, this development raises the question of why Mac computers have copies of the BTC whitepaper in the first place. However, this perplexing question does not have any concrete answers. Some believe that a BTC minimalist working at Apple added the whitepaper as an Easter egg. However, there is also a possibility, as crazy as it is, that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Is Apple Co-Founder Also the Creator of Bitcoin?
Both Jobs and Satoshi Nakamoto had extensive experience in the tech industry. While no one knows who the real Satoshi Nakamoto was, it’s safe to say that this person was either Japanese or had a strong interest in Japanese culture. It’s also well known that Jobs loved Japanese culture. Jobs visited Kyoto several times in his life. He even went to the Soto Zen sect in Japan. In the 80s, Jobs visited Sony’s factories in Japan and adopted many of their practices. Jobs also took each of his children on trips to Kyoto.
Additionally, Craig Wright, one of Satoshi Nakamoto’s early “claimed” identities, said he had a mentor when he was creating the first cryptocurrency. The identity of this person has never been revealed. This figure may actually be Steve Jobs.
Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared online on December 12, 2010. On the other hand, Steve Jobs unfortunately passed away on October 5, 2011, 10 months after Satoshi Nakamoto’s disappearance. It is possible, though far-fetched, that Jobs stopped working on Bitcoin (BTC) when his condition began to deteriorate.
Still, this is all just speculation, and there is no evidence that Jobs was actually the creator of Bitcoin. However, the availability of the BTC whitepaper on Mac computers has raised a lot of eyebrows. Also, during the creation of Bitcoin (BTC), Apple had just launched the iPhone, which revolutionized mobile phones forever. The chances of Jobs working on both the iPhone and Bitcoin at the same time is a bit far-fetched.
In addition, Steve Wozniak, another Apple co-founder, said that Jobs was not an expert programmer. Bitcoin (BTC) coding requires expertise in C++.
