E-Gold was one of the most popular onlinepayment system. It was a kind of system where people used to pay "precious metals" to each other in the form of "digital gold". I think they used to transfer the value and ownership of precious metals and this is how the system worked. E-Gold was actually created back in the mid 90s and many people created accounts with them. In fact, E-gold became so popular that it gained millions of customers by the mid 2000s and it was used by almost all paid to click sites. The problem with E-gold was that it was a centralized network just like centralized coins we can find today. This is why the government was able to shut it down successfully. Can Centralized Crypto Get "Shut Down" Just Like E-Gold Did In The Past?
