Satoshi never used the word "cryptocurrency" or "crypto" (aside from cryptography). This word got invented when altcoins started emerging.

I can find forum conversations in 2010 relating to Bitcoin where the parlance appears to be in use, but on first glance it may be more of a shorthand for "cryptography", rather than "cryptocurrency":  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115.0

Here's an archive.org link for the hardware linked in that 2010 post if anyone was curious.  They really did call their product "Crypto Accelerator 6000":  https://web.archive.org/web/20100324125628/https://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/networking/031146.htm
