Please elaborate. What do you mean there was some scam related to the Challenger?
This is the first time I have ever heard about the tragic accident of the Challenger being a scam or having anything to do with a scam.
Are you implying nothing died that day during the launch of the rocket or something? Because that is quite controversial, considering what I have read about the story of the accident and the people who sadly lost their life in what was supposed to be a travel for the sake of science and knowledge.

If you have some links and sources about what you are talking about, I am willing to take a look at them.

It seemed weird to me Iran would threaten that way the United States after Trump announced they alledgedly destroyed several of their underground nuclear facilities, to be honest.
As it stands for now there is little to nothing Iran can do in order to retaliate those attacks and I have already seen some news about people from Iran fleeing to Pakistan and people in Tehran taking refuge in their underground basements and avoiding to go outside because of the possibility of an air strike in the capital, which would be very serious. In the mean time, there are people in the United States which are not even aware of the war going on and go to their jobs and go to sleep as if nothing was happening. Iran is full of hot air and I am sure they regret to getting nuclear bombs faster during the administration of Biden.

Well, to me is not surprising actually.
If one wants to be good at swimming, dancing, playing baseball or anything, then it is important to start from the ground up and get better with practice, it is the same when comes to activities with need mental effort like learning a new language, writing and essay, translating a document or sorting out documents for people to find easily. With time and without further practice and effort our minds get numb and we get accustomed to a machine to do everything for us.
As it stands, the effects of long term AI use within working environments has not been studied yet, but I would not be anything beyond the scope of reality if more studies in the future showed the same negative results on individuals of all kind and working within all kinds of jobs where computers are required to enhance productivity.

It is possible.
I have seen some videos on YouTube which are alledgedly done to show people who gambling addicted people suffer the consequences of their recklessness, but there is something off about them. In many of those videos there is much emphasis on how they managed to score very high wins, before they got greedy and end up losing it all after a relatively short period of time.
I am not affirming anything, because I don't have any proof those videos or those people are being sponsored or being paid by casinos to attract more gamblers, but it would seem to me the trick is to show both the big wins and then the downfall of those addicted gamblers,.so the viewers have the impression the could "stop at the right time", unlike those gamblers in the video, prompting them to try gambling for the first time or turning them to active gamblers from passive/casual gamblers.

Just my personal theory, I could be completely wrong.

That is true and also completely ironic, because we all as gamblers we only have control on very few things when comes to gambling and bankroll is one of them, so obviously we should not give up on that control for the sake of adrenaline or because we desire to get as much money as possible or chase losses which we may never get back.
The founding stone of bankroll management is the bankroll itself, one needs to set aside a fixed amount of money in order to gamble with it and not to touch money witch is intended to pay for our living, starting from that point, we can plan when we are supposed to double, to halve or to retreat from the casino.

Someone who does not manage their money accordingly will see their gambling session time reduced and their losses accumulating faster than they desired.

I would not dare to directly correlate winnings within sportbetting with the amount of intelligence or the IQ of a person, to be honest.
There are simply too many other factors which the bettor have absolutely no control over and cannot do anything about them.

Though, I would admit, it would take some high level of intelligence for someone to consistently hit the nail on the head several times and pocket and good amount of money, but it would not be an ultimate test whatsoever.

To me, it would take an actual test scientifically proven by universities specialized on the study of intelligence and self-awareness to know how intelligent a person can actually be, this is rather a very random and qualitative way to see intelligence, specially if we keep in mind betting also depends much on luck.

Ironically, the gambling floor of brick-and-mortar casinos are well equiped with cameras on the ceiling, in order to keep an eye on gamblers. Those who seem to be extremely lucky and beating the casinos in a consistent way immediately catch the attention of the cameras and the staff within the control room, prompting them to investigate from the distance whether such gambler is cheating the game somehow, in the end, it always ends up the same: with security escorting out those consistent winner out the gambling floor and the casino facilities.
One think is having a random gambler to hit the jackpot once a year or something, but it is a completely different thing to have a gamble to defeat the house on blackjack over a dozen of times in a row.

I am sorry to what happen to your cousin. 
It needs an special kind of low-life scammer to lure someone to deposit into a scam casino in order to alledgedly get access to money they won as a result of their "good luck", hopefully it was not a life changing amount of money and he could recover from such loss in a short period of time.

Also, as far as I see it,.the only way someone in this forum could give the benefit of the doubt to OP would be if he agreed on hiring the services of an escrow and someone made sure there is not malicious software being distributed on that URL, which is supposed to be the webpage of the casino, this could easily be some kind of attempt to infect hundreds or thousands of computers with a virus to steal cryptocurrency wallets from our computers.

Keep in mind, in order for anyone to perform a martingale experiment like this one, such person needs to have a bankroll or a betting budget which is big compared to the increases of wager they are planning to adjust as part of the strategy. Martingale is infamous because for it to have a minimum change to be profitable for a gambler, the gambler in question would need to have a massive amount of money at their disposal.
When I see people talking about going for a martingale strategy with sums as little as twenty dollars or one hundred dollars, I already can tell those guys will lose all their money in a record time, because of the mathematical and statistical nature of martingale, if OP wanted to increase his wager by ten dollars, instead of one single buck at the time, it would probably take him ten thousand dollars or bankroll to run this experiment in a reasonable period of time without losing it all.

It is just my personal opinion and point of view, but I think that kind of mindset is completely toxic to anyone who wishes to have an experience which one could consider to be responsible, specially if we are talking about gambling on online casinos in the long term. Not quitting will never guarantee anyone to be a net winner on any casino game and those who win money could perfectly become profitable in the first rounds on the session, without gambling the in the long term.

This is something similar to that fallacy I have read before about "gamblers quit with they are about to get a jackpot or win a huge amount of money", which is of course a lie, which cannot be supported with statistical data.

It could be more profitable, but one needs to know exactly what one is doing, because it is needless to say that way of betting in football or basket games is not intended to approach to the vast majority of bettors in the market, and it could be easy for anyone with little experience to suffer consecutive losses by betting on that modality.
For most of people who are interested in betting and do not want to do a huge amount of statistically analysis, then moneyline is better and more straight forward to participate in betting markets.

At least, that is my opinion. I personally would not have time to perform the suitable analysis necessary to bet on the performance of certain players. It could even take to follow those players on social media to keep one up-to-date with their personal life and stuff.

It could have been a lie, that is true. But at the first time, when this thread as opened, it kind of made sense to me that there was some kind of power struggle within the administration of the casino, as there was people from within who ran away with the money of their gamblers and there was OP, who seemly wanted to repair the damage which was already to by the casino who was alledgedly hijacked. I guess that, over seeing how OP did not accomplished to keep his promise to give all the money lost back to gamblers, we could put in doubt the whole story about the power struggle and the hijacking of the casino by rogue members of the staff.

Anyone considering to take this offer: be careful, there is something fishy about it.
Generally, those how use referral codes take advantage of their popularity in social media like Twitch, YouTube or Twitter/X, in order to pocket some money with each registration and deposit from people who joined the platform from the referral link or code, nobody who is seeking to profit from those referral programs is going to offer you money to use their code.
Besides, there is no warranty OP is going to actually pay you what it is due to you once you have registered and wager the bonus you are going to alledgedly receive.

Don't be gullible, people.
Of something seems to be too good to be true or too easy too be true then generally it is not true.

Both coins comply with what they initially offer to their users, though I am most inclined to Dogecoin than using Litecoin because I don't usually hold or like to invest in memecoins. When comes to doing some small payments with little fees both can be good.

There is something which catches my attention on Litecoin though, even though their supply is limited and transactions are fast and cheap, it continues to underperform during bullruns, when compared to coins like Dogecoin. It seems Dogecoin is a better investment in the long term for those who are willing to give memecoins a chance.

Even though there are some consistencies on the United States using allies to fight proxy wars against their adversaries, I don't know whether it is fair to compare the situation going on between Iran and Israel to other international conflicts like those going on between Ukraine and Russia and also China and Taiwan.
Remember, in the latter cases I have mentioned we would be talking about autocracies seeking to take over countries which have a pretty much functioning system of western democracy, for the sake of their political interest and also for the sake of seizing land from those democratic republics.
Iran and Israel it is not only about autocracy and the right to occupy some geographical place in the middle east, there are some other factors going on like antisemitism and anti sionism being openly accepted in Iran and the fact they continue to declare themselves to be a existencial thread against Israel, there is much religion going on in those conflicts on the middle east, so one cannot easily compare them to what happens in Ukraine or could happen in Taiwan.

The fundamental objective of Bitcointalk and it's community is to continue to have a place for the messages by Satoshi to be stored in their original form so people continue to investigate and read by themselves what satoshis intended for decentralized currencies, specially Bitcoin, which is the most important cryptocurrency on the market.

From there and since much time has passed since Satoshi moved out from here there have been other interests, visions and goals built by the community and it mostly depends on the section you visit. People from the gambling section want to win money by gambling or fun, people from the collectible section seeks to get products of limited access related to the culture of Bitcoin and alternative currencies, and those who visit the economics section of the forum want to discuss news and also get ideas to improve their own personal economical situation.

Se trata de algo completamente personal, pero creo que no se debería fijar un mínimo de fee a ser pagado por los usuarios que deseen realizar transacciones dentro de la red principal de Bitcoin, creo que sería algo impositivo y dividiría la comunidad, obviamente. Por ahora eso de dejar que la oferta y la demanda mantenga el precio de las transacciones de acuerdo a cada byte que pese la misma ha funcionado bastante bien (cuando no hay abusos de la cadena para llenarla de basura). Incluso recuerdo a ver leído en mis épocas de newbie que era posible fijar la tasa manualmente en algunas billeteras a 0 sat/byte y en las noches de los fines de semana (cuando la demanda de espacio en la cadena en baja) algún minero incluiría tu transacción sin cobrarte por ella en absoluto.

Sin embargo, asumo que esos días ya acabaron y los mineros filtran esas transacciones gratuitas desde su extremo.

Eso de patria armada, paz honrada me recuerdo bastante a la lógica y a la teoría de la paz nuclear o la paz debido a la proliferación nuclear y al dogma militar de destrucción mutua.
He visto a un par de personajes en el foro, específicamente en la sección de sociedad y política, afirmar que la existencia de armas nuclear capaz de acabar con el adversario de cuestiones de horas, ha traído como consecuencia una disminución de las guerras que la humanidad pudo haber experimentado si esos dispositivos nunca se hubiesen inventado, más que todo es una referencia al poder disuasorio que tienen ese tipo de dispositivos. Y naciones com Corea del Norte de un buen ejemplo de que tan efectivo puede ser la tenencia de esas armas para que el enemigo no cruce líneas de intervención armada o invasión.

Corrijanme si estoy equivocado, pero ¿ no es Forocoches algo así como una página española que tiene algo de mala fama en lo que respecta a la calidad de información que suele salir de allí?

He escuchado algo sobre ella algunas veces debido a que sigo a un par de creadores de contenido españoles y la mayoría de la veces que hablan de Forocoches como una fuente de información, por lo general lo hacen de manera de burla o despectiva.

En este caso de trata de una pregunta válida sobre que es lo que sebe declarar a hacienda o al estado Español en lo que concierne a Bitcoin y otras monedas. Solo quiero saber de la mano de ustedes si la mala fama de Forocoches está justificada de la manera que he visto.

Meh. Es la realidad del mundo en que vivimos, incluso me atrevería a especular que todas estas cosas que ocurren a nuestro alrededor solo nos hacen más insensible ante las circunstancias que pueden estar pasando otros seres humanos como nosotros. Se crea un especie de circulo vicioso en dónde la indiferencia (especialmente de la sociedad como un todo y de las personas en puestos de poder) crean sufrimiento y el sufrimiento que vemos de ello crea más indiferencia.

Es un mecanismo de defensa en este mundo moderno en dónde parece que la vida humana ya no tiene tanto valor como debería. Ojos que no ven corazón que no siente, preferimos voltear la mirada ante situaciones que no controlamos.
