check out This video about if Bitcoin were around in the 90s
and my steemit post on 80s chatrooms and why we might have had blockchain in the 80s or 90s if someone would have thought it up and built it back then, i believe it would have been possible tto have a blockchain p2p money system with old apple IIes and BBS boards!

Off hand, I don't think we had the computing power and memory in the 80s and 90s to make a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin for the common man. Perhaps, a DPOS blockchain or some new altcoin crypto that is not heavy on memory and CPU power.
We could have had something in the early 2000s perhaps. There was folding@home which was one of the original distributed computer systems. If someone had thought up Nakamoto's system, there were enough computers and Internet users out there to experiment with a Bitcoin like system in the year 2000.
