When people talked of "virtual currency" over the years, often arguing
that it's too hard a problem, how many described bitcoin with its
cryptographic mining etc?

None, but it shouldn't be hard to look at the way bitcoin works and
realize why it'd be phenomenally ill suited for e-postage, just for
technical reasons.  I told Satoshi so in 2009.
