Not Bitcoin?

Nope. Bitcoin is just the first one that actually became decently successful and actually gained recognition everywhere. Most people just haven't heard of the past attempts for a global currency just because they weren't successful.

I think the birth of the first cryptocurrency started with the mailbox cypherpunk forum. At the forum the initial ideas about the foundation of cryptography and the emergence of ideas and experimental innovations to make digital money as payment for electronic devices such as HashCash proposed by Adam Back, Bit Gold from Nick Szabo.

Well that link mjglqw is I guess more reliable to believe since its all written and explaining from the author
