Internet sleuths noticed that many earlier macOS versions had copies of the Bitcoin whitepaper available. First off, it's unclear why Apple included a copy of Bitcoin's whitepaper in the OS; it has since been deleted. It's still unclear. The Bitcoin Whitepaper that was once there in the macOS files has reportedly vanished, and even if you follow the instructions to read it, it won't be accessible anymore, according to the reports. According to its study, its developers might have been aware that consumers had already found and deleted the secret file.

Nevertheless, the study made the assumption that this may merely be an inside joke or an easter egg from the Apple engineers who first incorporated it. However, as more people were able to access it through its hidden files, the concerned individuals chose to delete it from macOS. The BTC whitepaper was initially spotted on macOS 13 by Andy Baio, and after being confirmed by other friends, they discovered that this also worked on their other Macs. Furthermore, they assert that it was first included in the operating system in macOS Mojave in 2018, which is about five years after it was first detected. The document, which Apple engineers may have written as an internal joke, has no particular relevance to the macOS because it contained no proprietary information.

Apple's most recent advancement in computer technology, particularly with the silicon-based M-series CPUs, makes it possible. The company is presently running on the macOS 13 Ventura series of its most recent operating system, which offers the world the most modern user interface and interactions with Apple's laptops. The upcoming WWDC in 2023 will mark the beginning of a new era for Mac computers as an OS upgrade and the release of macOS 14 are both anticipated.

Users who were looking for it now won't be able to find it because Apple withdrew it for reasons that are yet unknown.
