I see you are citing well known scientific sources such as forbes, the guardian and the bbc.
Now, let me present some lesser sources contradicting your argument.
Based on the findings from the present study, a single weight-based dose (0.2 mg/kg) of ivermectin could improve important clinical symptoms in patients with COVID-19, such as dyspnea, cough, and lymphopenia. This drug was well tolerated, with a good tolerability profile and few adverse events with oral administration.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Ivermectin is a drug with antiviral properties against a few viral infections. Owing to its considerable accessibility due to its low total cost, it has become an alternative treatment for patients with COVID-19. Studies have shown a reduction in mortality in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 who received the drug.23 30 Another study indicated that early administration of ivermectin resulted in earlier clearance of the virus compared with placebo, assessed over a 5-day course, suggesting that early intervention with ivermectin may limit viral replication in the host.31
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
5-day course of ivermectin was found to be safe and effective in treating adult patients with mild COVID-19.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go...
There were 9 RCTs comprising of 1788 patients included in this meta-analysis. Ivermectin was associated with decreased mortality (RR 0.39 [95% 0.20–0.74], p = 0.004; I2: 58.2%, p = 0.051). Subgroup analysis in patients with severe COVID-19 showed borderline statistical significance towards mortality reduction (RR 0.42 [95% 0.18–1.00], p = 0.052; I2: 68.3, p = 0.013).

We have summarized published results on the inhibition of multiple viral and host targets that could be involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication and the disease COVID-19.

Comment Windows Vista (Score 1) 184
I'm surprised Windows Vista is not in the list, but to be fair Vista was almost as good as Windows 7 by Vista SP2.
The biggest problem was that most graphics cards didn't support WDDM at the time of release and that caused all sorts of performance and stability issues.
The kernel hardly changed from Vista SP2 to Windows 7 (at least as far as it's publicly known).
My vote goes for Windows ME.

Crypto, though, is entirely floated on speculation.
Not really, miners spend fortunes to generate them. That gives XBT at least some value.
The fair minimum non-speculative price should be the total cost of generating them divided by the circulating supply.
Given that most of the cheaply generated bitcoins are out of reach (i.e. dumpster HDDs), the price should be even higher.

XBT would certainly take a big dump, but since when do private citizens care what the government says you can or can't exchange their toilet paper for?
Also XMR is proof that you don't need government approval.

Derivatives will inevitably slow (and reverse) the fall of bitcoin.
If XBT was dropping too much, not only random joes would sell, bears would short it 125x leverage, this will increase supply thus reducing the price.
Once the price falls enough, and everyone is shorting, there will be people with almost no collateral, meaning any movement upwards would liquidate their collateral to close their position. This will create buy pressure in the market (since bitcoin must be bought to close a short) increasing the price a fraction. This could liquidate other positions and so on. This wont push the price up by itself, but could very well slow down the downtrend. Once the slowdown is evident, bulls will start to buy and long with leverage, this could very well reverse the trend.
Bitcoin will only die in a catastrophic event, be it war or economic depression with ATH interest rates.
Or if a security vulnerability is found...

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.
