As Bitcoin which is in a monetary context no electronic cash, no digital cash and no virtual cash. Its to be really correct something new. It’s crypto cash

No, I would say that all of those four words would be an accurate description.  It uses cryptography, it's digital (you agree with that part), it uses electricity and communicates information over a network (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=electronic+definition&oq=electronic+definition&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2897j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and it is virtual.

If you would prefer the title of the whitepaper to be "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Digital Electronic Cash System", you might as well call it "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Crypto Digital Virtual Electronic Cash System".  Which wouldn't exactly roll off the tongue.

You could put any number of details in the title, but I certainly wouldn't say that he made a mistake.

not a mistake

if he said analogue or paper.. then fine h would be wrong.
but he did not  he just kept it as simple as possible

just because he didnt go techno and detail the specifics to the finest detail and include all jargon of the inner complexities of "electronic" doesnt mean its wrong.

he was giving a basic title the most ELI-5 explanation possible the difference between paper or electronic cash.

P.S
i have a dog.

wait im wrong.. dang it. i must not have a dog because i did not finely describe it to the nth degree of detail. OMG i dont have a dog, please where did my dog go....     oh wait i do have a dog, phew, that was close
