My tablets were produced by an Indian drug company, and sold through a pharmacy in Israel. A reader here on Hive named @apshamilton responded to my post offering 1000 HIVE for 60 tablets shipped to me in Canada. We made the arrangements, I sent a 100 HIVE deposit, he shipped the tablets, I received them, and I sent the other 900 HIVE!
My sincere gratitude to:
I took the first tablet 8 hours ago and so far I haven't noticed anything (which is to be expected). Assuming all is well in a couple days, I'll take another full tablet, and go from there.
I also plan to put at least a couple cards away for my family. These are fresh for at least 3 more years.
I don't feel I overpaid. (Current value of 1000 HIVE is $810 USD.) I was talking about this with my wife earlier today. We both agreed that money (and currency) is to be spent. Sure, we both believe in savings, absolutely. In fact, after more than 4 years of nonstop content-creation, this is the first time I've ever spent any of my earnings on myself (I previously spent several thousand dollars on a water pump for a neighborhood in Venezuela). I've never powered down. I prefer to hold my HP to power up my votes, so I can support content I believe in. But I needed Ivermectin, I had the funds available. It's what it took for me to get what I wanted/needed. The dollar price doesn't really factor into it all that much for me.
So in the end, it was a success. Without a smart device, without a bank account, without a credit card, I got some hard-to-locate medicine delivered to my hands. Using nothing but my home PC with internet connection. My content generated crypto payouts, and someone valued those tokens enough to give me what I asked for. I'm satisfied, he's satisfied, even the postal service is satisfied. Everybody got what they want. To me, that's a success for the free market, for voluntarism, and for crypto.
Seeing Joe Rogan absolutely bitchslap Sanjay Gupta with knowledge about Ivermectin last week was hilarious. "You dumb mother%$#@er!" Incredible how CNN spun that afterward. And they're back to pretending it's just "horse paste". But too late, millions more people now see the emperor has no clothes.
