The idea behind bitcoin has been around in research white papers for years. I imagine we should be able to list such research papers as a source. Bitcoins is the first time this theoretical idea which has been around for quite a while, has actually been implemented. I don’t have sources available at the moment, but if I get some time, I’ll try to look around. If anybody can find these historical research papers and discussions from before Bitcoin was started, please post links to them.
