Hello Guys,
Now I'm a newbie and trying to know what & why Bitcoin is, but
I just want to know if how many virtual currencies existed and had been circulated in the internet before Bitcoin?
Is Bitcoin was based on the earlier Crypto Currency if ever existed?
I haven't found an answer yet even I watched bunch videos from YouTube.

Talk to me, please...

Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency being made online. After bitcoin was created, it became the prototype cryptocurrency then it was followed by doge and litecoin. Later on in time many coins have been launched some were successful and some become shitcoins due to its failure. It is normal that you cannot see it in you tube since there are no cryptocurrency before bitcoin. Bitcoin was the first to use a whitepaper and blockchain. Due to its success, altcoins or alternative coins begun to sprout trying to copy bitcoin. If you are still willing to learn more about bitcoin and its history you can actually search it in google so you can see its timeline and how bitcoin evolved as time goes by.

On point. Bitcoin is the first crpytocurrency, indeed. Thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto! Bitcoin did what cash and credit cards can't do. It saves thousands of people from transfer delays, hours in line and unsecured transactions.

This is correct but also became the issue with bitcoin. It is mean for faster transaction but what is left is the secured one.
The past few months have been slow even if the payments are high enough for high priority to be confirmed. Good thing it came back to normal and hoping that will never happen again.
I think that says it all. Fast and secure.
