The answer to this was meant to be Bitcoin, hence the title of the whitepaper "Bitcoin: A peer to peer electronic cash system". Unfortunately there is a lot of money being spent to keep that goal from being realized.

If you really want to see "cash on the internet" I would advise you to do some research and find the cryptocurrency that best resembles it, then help build it. It will be an uphill battle the whole way.

I think there are a lot of good candidates. Personally I am rooting for Ethereum. But Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Monero, are all good options. Even Bitcoin could be a good option but it seems like you said there are too many people working against that.
