What is the First Cryptocurrency(First digital money)?
BTC (if that's what you are thinking), was actually not the first cryptocurrency to be created, but more the first cryptocurrency that had a good mindset behind it and attracted people to invest and hold it for the future. It also wasn't the first use of blockchain technology.

Read this article, it doesn't show exact times, but there is a really good description of all the cryptocurrencies that existed before BTC became a thing,  I'm pretty surprised that cryptocurrency was being worked on in the early 1990s, almost 20 years before BTC was made.
