buddy this is fantastic to know and read thank you so much
as i love money evolving and learn about it i enjoyed seeing the Ascent of Money thanks for sharing :)
this week post on fivenuggets was very impressive one great choice
Useful information about Pocket tokens and other nuggets are interesting. Thank you @lpfaust
@sharish5 thanks for stopping by to check out this week's nuggets. I appreciate the continued support.
Love the train journey link @lpfaust
@getonthetrain been a while since I've seen you. How are things?
I have to admit, of all the nuggets this week, that post about the cross country train trip was bay far one of my personal favorites. It's something on the bucket list calling to get crossed off.
I'm doing well. Yourself?
I actually checked out the Amtrak 15 day, 8 leg pass. Its only about $436 or so. Enough to go there and back, stopping at different cities. Very tempting!
@getonthetrain I'm doing well myself, just lots of life changes going on at the moment. I thought free time was a precious commodity when I had one child. Now with a second, I'm curious where it all ran off to.
$436 is a steal to go coast to coast on Amtrack. I need to let the kids get a bit older before I do that with my wife. We were thinking of grabbing a sleeper car. I read a blog post a few months back from a guy who grabbed a sleeper car with his girlfriend and ran up the East Coast of the US. It was amazing to discover how much luxury still exists with modern train travel in the age of mass air travel.
I really need to scratch this off my bucket list before hyperloops come into play.
My second child is just 5 months, so I know all about not having time.
I think you have plenty of time before hyperloops take over. You ever read my old article about the precursor to Musk's hyperloop - built in 1870?

@getonthetrain I missed that post of yours, and I'm not sure how that happened. Nevertheless, I have given it a belated upvote through this comment. Probably better now because I have a ton more SP than I did back then and STEEM is worth a bit more.
Train rides seem to have a serious luxury component to them in the modern world where time is managed to the minute. I'd love to see the world step back from this insane obsession with hyper-productivity and instant gratification.
Nevertheless, plan to scratch this item off my bucket list in the near future.
Ha, thanks! It is actually my third highest rewarded post ever, was first for a long time.
I don't think the world will step back, but you can and find like-minded people. There are still many places in the world where life goes on at a slow pace. My type of places too.
@lpfaust,
"STEEM now has its own derivative token POCKET" seems interesting! A great post with very useful information! Thank you very much for sharing with us! Really appreciate your effort!
Cheers~
@theguruasia thanks for stopping in to sift through this week's nuggets. It's always good to see readers finding value in them.
In terms of POCKET, if you have not already claimed your 1,000,000 tokens, I would advise you do it soon. As I understand it, only 512 Steemit users have claimed these tokens, so they have the potential to become something lucrative.
Very Valuable Information and sttmit. grate post . 100% like and resteem.
@stmit thanks for stopping by to check out this week'd fivenuggets. I appreciate the upvote and resteem.
Great post and very interesting!. thanks your posting.
100% upvote
@goldcoin I'm glad you found some thing in this week's fivenuggets which resonated with you. I appreciate the upvote.
I've seen the Machine standup story. It was bueno :) I'd communicate in similar fashion if someone dropped me off in Russia tomorrow.
Already got my share of POCKET. Very exciting times!
New Post!
Solution to Steemit's Problems?
@oddnugget glad you stopped by to check out this week's selections. Always good to get some feedback.
When I came across that clip, I was drinking hot coffee and I was not prepared for how much his stuff was going to make me laugh. Makes me wish I'd done foreign exchange when I was younger and I was not drinking a hot liquid at that time.
Glad you picked up your POCKET tokens. When I was last reading through @biophil's blog, it turns out only like 512 Steemit accounts claimed the tokens. Could be lucrative. Interesting times indeed.
@lpfaust - This article carries very valuable information Sire. I am just amazed by the Train link that you indicate there. Across the USA by Train for Just $213? Wow that is cool. Therefore, I wish to ReSteem your post Sire.

@steemwija I'm glad you toook some time to check out this week's finds. Thanks for the upvote and the resteem.
I was just as surprised about the price of a cross country train trip. It was by far my most favorite nugget this week.
Very interesting video especially the Machine – Bert Kreischer I just enjoy that video and other nuggets are also amazing.....
@sanks7 thanks for checking out #fivenuggets this week. Glad you took some time to stop by.
I stumbled upon Bert Kreischer quite by accident this week and I have been hooked. The dude has a serious gift for comedy. If you have a chance, check out the longer comedy routine which that clip is taken from. It's about 1 hour long and you will absolutely pee yourself laughing. He is awesome.
Ya ofcourse I will definitely checkout
Oh, thanks, I'll try to figure out the free tokens.
@dlina-v-metrah I think it's worth doing for a couple of reasons.
First, it's the very first derivative token of STEEM and as the ecosystem grows (and community tokens are possibly created in the future) POCKET holds a first mover advantage in that ecosystem.
Second, when you consider it's a give away which requires no capital investment into a computer to mine, I think that's an absolute steal. It's truly a free token giveaway.
As of the last post from @biophil (which I read), I think only 512 Steemit accounts claimed their tokens by the midway point of the distribution. There is every likelihood less than 2,000 accounts could conceivable control the supply of tokens. As the platform grows, it's possible this could become something lucrative.
Thanks for sharing the next post on #fivenuggets this is getting better and better :D
@blazing thanks for stopping by to read through my #fivenuggets each week. I think of all the things I write about, this series is the one I enjoy the most. I find it enjoyable to share some of the hidden treasures I stumble across each week as life takes me on a great adventure.
I seriously need to do that coast to coast train ride...
It had such a profound impact on me and became one of the major influences which made me consider my first purchase of Bitcoin in 2013.
I got the main point on this posts by your own words. it clearly show how these nuggets will rise with the giant.
@futuresmart glad to see you stop by this week for this episode of #fivenuggets. Thanks for showing your support.
Both of those books (now a YouTube series in the case of The Ascent of Money) are nothing short of amazing. I'm a very strong advocate that everyone should read them.
I loved the video! thanks alot for sharing, I really like your blog!
@brothermic thanks for stopping by this week to check out #fivenuggets. I appreciate the support for my work.
Bert Kreischer is an absolute comedy genius. The guy is hilarious and if you have some time, check out some of his other stand-up comedy. Definitely made my short list of comedians I would drop everything to watch.
