The word "blockchain" does not appear even once in the Satoshi white paper when explaining #Bitcoin to the world. Some words that do appear are:
Proof: 27
Attack: 25
Timestamp: 14
Trust: 14
Peer: 12
Verify: 7
Verification: 3

Correct. It was chain of blocks.
Hal Finney coined the term Blockchain
I thought the first reference was “time chain”.
I’m wrong. It was “timestamp server”. https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf
Or maybe it was time chain. https://niftycryptonomad.com/bitcoin-timechain-not-blockchain/
“Honest chain” shows up more than once
“Proof of Work” also shows up quite a few times
Good reminder of the true guts of Bitcoin…
