I guess you were right I have searched the web for whoever coined the term cryptocurrency and I just cant find it. Well congratulations since you are the one responsible as the first person who use the word cryptocurrency. Well I guess you will soon expect that your username here will be placed on the dictiorary of bitcoin.
Anyway, Craig Wright has already been famous for faking documents and it is not the first time he made it. Everytime he made such things to prove he is satoshi he degrades himself and making a fool out of himself.
Topic: Who coined the word "cryptocurrency" ... (Read 482 times)
I think the "cryptocurrency" comes in use with very deep thinking as the name itself has meaning like Crypto=Secret and Currency=Legal tender/Money which means Secret+Money=Cryptocurrency and the term was coined intelligently.
It is much alike of Crypto means encrypted, safe and secured and currency simply means money. Basically craig will do everything just to prove that he is a big personality in cryptospace. But knowing who coined the word crypto for me, is almost the entire cryptocommunity. Once the cryptocurrencies have been set out, its creator who first said crypto could be the one who coined it and for me, that is satoshi. Let us not be deceived by all means that some people are using. we need to be knowledgeable enough and filter information first.
I think it doesn't matter who invented it, the main who began to actively use

It's a bit tricky question. But maybe someone was thinking about corruption and crypto word come into his mind. And he modifies it to cryptocurrency 
You got a rather ridiculous opinion. But if you take into account the fact that many officials use cryptocurrency to get bribes, we can assume that there is something in common between the words cryptocurrency and Corruption. I don't think the bitcoin is the first currency.. and also bitcoin is differs from cryptocurrency.. these are not the same..i am not damm sure..
I don't think that a pigeon is dove, let alone a bird, reasons why soon to be released in my dissertation in obtaining my 8th PHD ... or is it my 9th, for i am not damm sure.
Why do you need to know? I think it might be a little bit late to register a trademark on the word, because it is public domain now. Yes, you might get some brag rights from this, but that is about it.
Imagine going through all that trouble and finding out that you were not the first person to use the word. I once thought I was the first person using a specific word, until I saw it mentioned in a very old youtube video. 
I will create a t-shirt with the words, "I created Cryptocurrencies"

Time stamps, no dates ...
Dates are there. In the permalink, you can notice something like /comment_2005_12/azerty.
The archive snapshot doesn't really prove the opposite. Comments could have been posted on December 2005 but approved/moderated and so displayed after the date of the snapshot (2007 March)
And he did it after cleaning all the SEO spam comments (I checked several snapshot dates).
Also, don't forget to check the Cypherpunks Mailing List archive.
Wright is trying to find ways to make it like he has the authority, finding ways to make himself like the first to have created anything related to bitcoin. This I think the community should fight against him that has been terrorizing the market since. If there is one thing that Wright should just stick and be proud of is his BSV and he can always own it, I don't think anyone will discredit that that to him. But he should just named it Wright Vision.

Clearly most people on this forum do not understand me at all.
I don't like trademarks. I don't like copyright.
I'm not even trying to prove anything about myself here, other than the fact that other people appear to be lying or spreading mis-information or untruths.
As I have said elsewhere. I'm not even looking for Satoshi. I'm looking for not Satoshi. Most folks here don't even seem to care anyway.
You have a great day now! (sincerely).

Any decent proof you can provide WHO really altered ? Was that you ?
Who btw wants to discred ppl without proof ? You ?
Wrong. CSW posted the edited version of this on his own twitter feed: Dr Craig S Wright (@ProfFaustus) - then seemingly subsequently deleted his entire twitter feed presumably to cover up evidence?
This is not the only example of this.
You seemingly have a real problem with trying to twist hard facts and the truth.

It should be digital asset and not cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is a good word, mysterious and technical-sensed
I coined "Investard" (proper noun) Hey, maybe I should trademark it before Cock Sucker Wright steals it, eh?
Am pretty sure it was Satoshi himself. There's a passage in Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper where it's proposed in an exchange with that Finnish fella who helped him out with bitcoin.org at the start. I'll dig around.
Edit - It was an unknown stranger.
'While satoshi never discussed anything person in these emails, he would banter with Martti about little things.
In one email Satoshi pointed to a recent exchange on the Bitcoin email list in which a user referred to Bitcoin as a "cryptocurrency" referring to the cryptographic functions that made it run.
"Maybe it's a word we should use when describing Bitcoin. Do you like it?" Satoshi asked.
"It sounds good," Martti replied. "A peer to peer cryptocurrency could be the slogan." '

Mssr. Szabo, the entire cryptocurrency 'establishment' owes you an immense debt of gratitude. I do agree with some of the comments (and had arrived at the same opinion independently) that we'd be better off with a POW function that does something more important than just solving a meaningless puzzle. I'm thinking of a domain-specific function such as predicting protein folding (critical in medicine and bio-tech) or for general purpose (e.g. spending cycles on a highly distributed problem, which has its own value). Of course, the two major constraints of POW must be maintained: 1/ confirmation of the solution must be trivial, and 2/ the computational cost for producing the solution must be controllable. Or maybe not - perhaps you get more in return for having provided more value in your POW.

This is the thing Bitcoin wasn't called "cryptocurrency" until it was.
Recently I noticed that a wiki page for cryptocurrency did not actually exist. I made a post on bitcointalk that identified this fact and that prior references were only for ecash, b-money, Digicash, eCache, bit gold, digital cash, e-currency, cryptographic electronic money, digital gold money etc., See:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_currency
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_gold_currency
The earliest citations on the Cryptocurrency wiki do not seem to make any reference to "cryptocurrency" ... currently including ...

Makes no reference to cryptocurrency either.
The "complete" Bitcoin history book websites do not list my own (manual exchange service) despite presence on bitcointalk, which I set-up after having conversations with NewLibertyStandard. It ran on a free web host and domain service - which did not matter as it only functioned as a point of contact for manual exchanges. The service was established before BitcoinMarket .com .

N.B. I no longer control or have access to any BitcoinFX @ email addresses !
Unfortunately, my website did not mention "Cryptocurrency" either. Only my forum posts.
I closed the service down, honouring all transfers and/or reimbursement's etc., and went back to trading retail forex until 2013. The closure of Liberty Reserve - cost me a lot of money, money I would of moved back into Bitcoin. That was the point of myself spending those interim years trading retail forex. I mostly traded XAG/USD and XAU/USD with good profits - having balances effectively 'confiscated'. Due to other factors and unforeseen personal circumstances, I've been getting back on my feet, so to speak, ever since. I will add that I never used Bitcoin or LR for anything 'illegal' - forex brokers used to accept LR and I also received some advertising revenues etc.,

I'm unsure as to if I also saw the "cryptocurrency" term elsewhere though, before I utilized it myself in my post. Still searching. I did come up with a lot of random things at the time, I know I certainly amused Satoshi with my initial enthusiasm, actions and ramblings.

Makes no reference to cryptocurrency either.
The "complete" Bitcoin history book websites do not list my own (manual exchange service) despite presence on bitcointalk, which I set-up after having conversations with NewLibertyStandard. It ran on a free web host and domain service - which did not matter as it only functioned as a point of contact for manual exchanges. The service was established before BitcoinMarket .com .

N.B. I no longer control or have access to any BitcoinFX @ email addresses !
Unfortunately, my website did not mention "Cryptocurrency" either. Only my forum posts.
I closed the service down, honouring all transfers and/or reimbursement's etc., and went back to trading retail forex until 2013. The closure of Liberty Reserve - cost me a lot of money, money I would of moved back into Bitcoin. That was the point of myself spending those interim years trading retail forex. I mostly traded XAG/USD and XAU/USD with good profits - having balances effectively 'confiscated'. Due to other factors and unforeseen personal circumstances, I've been getting back on my feet, so to speak, ever since. I will add that I never used Bitcoin or LR for anything 'illegal' - forex brokers used to accept LR and I also received some advertising revenues etc.,

I'm unsure as to if I also saw the "cryptocurrency" term elsewhere though, before I utilized it myself in my post. Still searching. I did come up with a lot of random things at the time, I know I certainly amused Satoshi with my initial enthusiasm, actions and ramblings.
Am pretty sure it was Satoshi himself. There's a passage in Digital Gold by Nathaniel Popper where it's proposed in an exchange with that Finnish fella who helped him out with bitcoin.org at the start. I'll dig around.
Edit - It was an unknown stranger.
'While satoshi never discussed anything person in these emails, he would banter with Martti about little things.
In one email Satoshi pointed to a recent exchange on the Bitcoin email list in which a user referred to Bitcoin as a "cryptocurrency" referring to the cryptographic functions that made it run.
"Maybe it's a word we should use when describing Bitcoin. Do you like it?" Satoshi asked.
"It sounds good," Martti replied. "A peer to peer cryptocurrency could be the slogan." '

Pretty legitimate question to be honest. The first things that come to mind are David Chaum's works on 'electronic cash,' Wei Dai's 'b-money' and Nick Szabo's 'bit gold,' all of which are somewhat related to the cryptocurrency that we know of today. The first time I read something about cryptocurrencies is in 2015 in a Coindesk article relating to Ethereum and the rise of other altcoins, and it's strange since I started this journey on 2013 December and registered in this forum on 1 April 2014.
I doubt that since Bitcoin isn't the first cryptocurrency, it has surely be mentioned before. Perhaps it was written 'crypto currency' or
'crypto-currency' but pretty sure it already does before. I admit I tried to search quickly with google anything before Feb 2008 but didn't find. Same with Archive.org
But then I remembered a document from NSA. References listed below are surely worth to read since it has a high chance to get the word in.

So, a new bitcointalk forum account sent me a PM today ...
they claimed to be researcher from a University searching this forum for the first occurrence of the word "cryptocurrency" ...
and apparently that was from myself, in this post ...

- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-bitcoin-users-read-this-bitcoin-preservation-86
(I should really pay attention to myself more!)
Does an earlier iteration exist anywhere else ? I honestly don't know.
...
Anyhow, this is also relevant / topical as it seems CSW actually backdated an 'old' blog post of his to included the word "cryptocurrency" ...
