A reason to use Bitcoin I have never heard anyone talk about!

There was a period of time when I was responsible for counting a busy retail chain's money and keeping track of the store safe/bank deposits... I was constantly sick.
Money is rather dirty.

Although, so are keyboards.

Your keyboard may be dirty and germ-ridden. But at least it's your own dirt and germs and not that of some random stranger.

And where are you processing your bitcoin? tablet, keyboard, smart phone?

Imagine loads of people rubbed their sweaty hands on a glass window and then you licked it.

Question... Why would you be licking a window? Did you get mustard on it? Also, why would you lick your tablet, keyboard, or smartphone? That's not how those devices are designed to be operated.

Come on, bacterium isn't bad. Those people who wears white gloves because their scared to have bacterium have serious problems. We actually need bacterium because our immunity is more resistant from diseases. If we would avoid bacterium so much our immunity would get so weak that we would get sick much more often. If talking about health i wouldn't see that as a positive thing...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger?
It's true that we do need to be exposed to a variety of germs in order to "challenge" the system and build up immunity.

For the germaphopes out there, Bitcoin might be a good choice.  

A recent study has identified 3,000 types of bacteria on dollar bills from a Manhattan bank.

Mostly paper money can carry a lot of bacteria

This is because it changes so many hands/wallets/cash registers and such. People are too ignorant to realize this.
I don't like using cash either, prefer CC.

This is true, but not something unique to BTC.

If you think that contextless-number is bad, you really don't want to know how many types of bacteria are living in your mouth, or your kitchen sink.

Try not to think about that the fact that every time you kiss a date, or your spouse, it's less sanitary than if you were licking the inside of your toilet bowl.
