All Aboard - The Railroad in American Art, 1840-1955) by @coolmidwestguy

What a great review of the history of the train through art! I loved the proposal. The works that most struck me were, on the one hand, those related to the expansion of the railway to the west and its impact on the native peoples. I knew part of it was thanks to western movies but seeing their images represented in the paintings is more impressive. On the other hand, I was very attracted to Thomas Hart Benton's paintings. They conveyed to me a feeling of a dream and reading their explanation I see that it is what the artist was looking for. The first of the real accident was sad but the message of confidence and hope of the second compensated for it. Thank you for sharing this history and art lesson!

Crypto A Scam? What No One Sees by @bitcoinflood

I think that we are still going at a good pace toward clarifying what will be crypto used... Despite saying that BTC is well-established, the whole ecosystem is still immature... All this experimenting with different things in crypto, ICO, NFTs, memes, and DeFi, was needed for better, and long-term growth... The picture is more clear than it was 4, or 8 years ago when crypto was demonized by MSM...
I remember the first crypto/blockchain conference that I attended, 8 years ago, and I remember well what was the topic of that talk... RWA! Use case! It took some time, and it will take some time to be implemented, but it will happen... I'm sure about that...

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐁𝐮𝐲 𝐏𝐈??? by @whywhy

I would like to think that I'm well informed about crypto, but I never heard about PI... (maybe you can add that to the cons list 😃)
But, I do appreciate your research and heads-up for potential money-lose for your readers... I saw you struggling with writing those "Pros" and I suppose that selling dreams and "potentials" I have left in 2018... 😃

'Harleen' Volume One Review: Now this one was a wonderful surprise! by @namiks

You have really caught my attention, everything that has to do with Harley Queen excites me a lot, so much that I just saw the title of your post and here I am. Lately, I'm not much of a reader, but when I do I prefer the physical edition, I only go digital when it comes to my big obsessions hahaha. It's a great recommendation you make here, thank you so much for sharing.

Bolivia - Sunset and sunrise on the Salar de Uyuni, plus the most freezing camping night of all. / Atardecer y amanecer en el Salar de Uyuni, además de la noche de camping más congelada de todas. 😃❤️ by @lauramica

Laura 😱 I always admire everything you share from your travels, but this place in Bolivia has stolen my heart. The picture of the sun on the horizon made a big impact on me, and I will indeed save it on my pc, either for wallpaper or to eventually see it in the screensaver. What a beauty of this great salt flat, its magnitude is impressive. I hope I can visit a place like this someday and in fact, the other thing I love is the view of the night sky, I love to lie down to see the stars, but in the city, it's not the same. Thank you very much for sharing, I really liked it a lot 🙏

On this ¨WednesdayWalk¨ following the trail of wildflowers (¨Es-Eng¨) by @miprimerconcurso

You managed to move me to those meadows with your photographs. I almost felt the smell of the rain that caused that explosion of flowers with their beautiful colors. It is true that we can find a lot of beauty by looking carefully, nature offers it to us in all its corners. I hope your grandfather is feeling better and that you can continue doing these great walks that you share with us.
