The "ultimate worldwide free market currency" accessible from your personal computer or mobile phone: 100% backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated storage. Other e-metals are also issued: e-silver is 100% backed by silver, e-platinum is 100% backed by platinum, and e-palladium is 100% backed by palladium. e-gold is always as good as the gold it's backed with this year, next year, a thousand years from now. e-gold is entirely backed by a physical commodity rather than debt or other financial instruments.
