The BTC whitepaper is on every Mac OS? 😳

Soulja Boy, hidden Bitcoin whitepaper, and .SWOOSH OF1

GM Baos,

A lot has happened this week 🥵

Today we cover:

  • Soulja Boy NFT

  • Hidden BTC whitepaper 💻

  • OF1 Collection

Soulja Boy NFT saga 🥶

Souja Boy (ya, the rapper) apparently created Soulja Boy 3D NFT within an hour. Then went on Twitter Spaces to celebrate the fact that it sold out and announce a second collection... right before the NFT was ultimately delisted by OpenSea 💀

@zachxbt ratios Soulja Boy 😂

Could it be his track record of crypto scams —  or maybe the Ferrari logo? 

A hidden Bitcoin whitepaper 

While trying to fix his computer, Andy Baio found that the Bitcoin whitepaper is hidden on every Apple MacBook running on macOS Mojave and later. He wrote about it on his blog Waxy.

To find the document, open Terminal and type in the command (there's also an alternative method using Finder) ⬇️

open /System/Library/Image\ Capture/Devices/VirtualScanner.app/Contents/Resources/simpledoc.pdf

When I first saw this going around, I opened Terminal on my computer to try it out — then decided it's okay, I'll just trust that it's really there! 🤣

In his blog, Andy wrote, "Is there a secret Bitcoin maxi working at Apple? The filename is "simple doc.pdf" and it's only 184 KB. Maybe it was just a convenient, lightweight multipage PDF for testing purposes, and never meant to be seen by end users"

Why do you think Apple secretly put the Bitcoin whitepaper on every MacBook AND will they remove it? 🧐

.Swooh Our Force 1 Collection 

🔥 .SWOOSH (the home for all of Nike's virtual creations) announced the Our Force 1 Collection. The collection is a tribute to the first 50 years of Nike and their homage to the creativity and versatility of the Air Force 1.

TLDR to the upcoming collection: 

  • It's .swoosh's first collection

  • Each creation is housed within 1 of 2 boxes (Classic Remix or New Wave)

  • OF1 features digital renditions of the iconic AF1 sneaker
