 100% the first? There wasn’t anything before it that worked and was technically “crypto”?

 USD

It had secure online credit card payment forms using cryptography on Amazon or whatever before Bitcoin, I bet

And before "crypto folks" meant Bitcoin traders, it meant spies. USD is the currency of the deep state. The US has a huge spying apparatus worldwide funded by USD, and American spies do coups in foreign countries and stuff to prop up USD and keep American control over oil to power the "petrodollar"

USD was the original "crypto-currency"

I'm suffering deeply as I type all this
