According to modern core devs, calling bitcoin electronic cash is prescriptive and not acceptable. They would have rejected Satoshi's whitepaper for the title alone. It's sad to see all the people who work for bitcoin magazine, whose owners make money off shitcoins, forget all about bitcoins origins. Follow the money.

You highlight an important discussion about the term 'electronic cash' and its origins. The whitepaper's title reflected its core purpose as a peer-to-peer digital currency, a design we should *favour* upholding.
Someone should write a book about Bitcoin's origins.
