@andybaio Pretty sure bitcoin.pdf was the first file that came up in Google for “pdf” around that time — at Zotero we started asking people to use it for testing in late 2016, without having the slightest interest in Bitcoin. Before that we used fw4.pdf, the IRS W-4 form, for the same reason, despite being similarly uninterested in tax withholding.

@danstillman @andybaio I wonder if the PDF was ranking so high because right around that time a couple or journalists starting writing about Craig Wright. That would be ironic since he's been suing people left and right to remove the whitepaper (for obtuse reasons).
