Forget government control, price, mugging...bitcoin is safer than cash because of lot of reasons but one is nr 1.

A recent snapshot of the U.S. money menagerie is also disquieting. In the last several years New York University graduate student Julia Maritz and her colleagues at N.Y.U.’s Center for Genomics and Systems Biology analyzed genetic material on 80 $1 bills and found roughly 3,000 types of organisms, including bacteria linked to pneumonia, food poisoning and staph infections.

Never heard of a bitcoin wallet giving you gonorrhoea.......yet

I know about allot of businesses that refuse to take cash and are electronic only, businesses in the food sector. Which I find a very nice idea, no employees receiving dirty coins in their hands and then giving you a cupcake with the same dirty fingers. I can see how regulators might want to start implementing rules on electronic cash only in stores where food gets directly handed from person to person due to the hygenical issues.

Bitcoins’ ownership address can only be changed by the owner. No one can steal Bitcoins unless they have physical access to a user’s computer, and they send the bitcoins to their account. Unlike convential currency systems, where only a few authentication details are required to gain access to finances, this system requires physical access, which makes it much harder to steal.
