English term or phrase: The E-Buck
The E-Buck Stops Here? - Cows, cowries, coins, paper, gold: Money has always had a physical presence. But today, it is quickly evolving into numbers that float through the ether. This modern era of money began in 1946 with the first bank-issued charge card. Credit cards followed some 12 years later, still related to dollars. However, technology, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, is changing the world’s definition of “money.”

the e-buck
O dólar (ou a moeda) digital


Explanation:
Sugestão. Costuma-se, no inglês, colocar "E" antes de uma palavra para se referir à versão digital dela - como e-mail, e-commerce etc - e o *buck*, neste contexto, tem o sentido de *dólar*, mas pode dar vazão para *moeda*.

Referência:

Como *buck* é mais informal, sugiro, também, *grana*.

the e-buck
O E-Buck / Evergreen Buck


Explanation:
Acredito que seja isto. O "e" não quer dizer "electronic" e sim "evergreen". Vale por dinheiro, mas nào é dinheiro, segundo a descrição abaixo. Por isso, sugiro deixar em inglês mesmo. Se for o caso, pode acrescentar uma nota de rodapé explicativa.

E-bucks are short for “Evergreen Bucks”. You earn one E-buck for every $10 you spend at Evergreen of Colonial Heights during the earning period. An E-buck is worth the value printed on it. They come in $1, $5, $10, & $20 increments. You will get physical E-buck to hold onto at checkout. Make sure you keep it in a safe & memorable spot. We cannot track your E-bucks for you. https://egardenplace.com/e-bucks/

disagree  Richard Purdom: e very obviously means electronic. Read the context.
1 hr
  -> If it meant electronic money, there would be no need for capitalization. You ignored my reference, but who cares about references here?
disagree  Antônio Souza: Concordo com o Sr. Purdom, está claro que sua tradução não tem absolutamente nada a ver com o contexto. Suas referências são totalmente irrelevantes no contexto acima.

neutral  Thiago Silva: A capitalização pode ser um erro do texto original. Sua sugestão realmente não cabe no contexto de criptomoedas a que o texto se refere.

the e-buck
a grana virtual (mantendo a gíria)


Explanation:
Sem dúvidas, a sugestão do Matheus é boa, com "dinheiro". Mas "buck" é gíria para dinheiro em inglês, então eu usaria "grana".

Como o texto também fala de cartão de crédito, sugiro "dinheiro eletrônico".

Definição de "virtual": "existente apenas em potência ou como faculdade, sem efeito real".
