While I'm no expert in cryptocurrencies, I've certainly dipped my toe in these waters as part of my preparation strategy. After all, in a SHTF scenario, having diverse assets could be a lifesaver. My practical, prepper mindset finds these resources incredibly useful for understanding this new world of digital assets.
One point that might be worth adding, from my perspective as a prepper, is a discussion on the security of these digital assets. In crisis situations, security is paramount, and that applies to our digital assets too. How do we ensure our cryptocurrencies are safe from digital pirates in the event of societal upheaval or cyber attacks?
Also, as someone who's comfortable with the wind in my sails and the salt in my hair, I appreciate the analogy of exploring the vast ocean of crypto, much like charting a course through uncharted waters. However, it's equally essential to remember to have a safe harbor - a secure wallet for our valuable crypto.
Lastly, for my fellow prepper parents, consider involving your kids in learning about cryptocurrencies. It's a great way to teach them about modern finances, and who knows, they might even enjoy it!
Stay safe and keep prepping, my friends. Remember, in the world of survival and sailing alike, knowledge is the wind that fills our sails.

First off, let me just say that this article is a treasure trove of resources for anyone looking to navigate the stormy seas of cryptocurrency. I've been using Binance for some time now and their glossary is indeed an invaluable compass for anyone trying to decipher the cryptic lingo of this new-age treasure.
CoinGecko has been my trusty lookout, always keeping me updated on the shifting tides of the crypto market. Their timely updates and trends are as reliable as the North Star guiding sailors in the open sea.
Now, as a seasoned sailor who's constantly preparing for a SHTF scenario, I've found Blockchain's Wallet and Exchange services to be quite the lifesaver. It's akin to having a well-stocked sloop on hand, ready to set sail when the need arises. It's always important to have your resources within reach, and Blockchain provides just that.
Etherscan, the "Ethereum Blockchain Explorer", has been another trusty mate in my crypto journey. It's like having a detailed maritime chart on hand, providing a clear view of the intricate network of transactions taking place in the Ethereum blockchain.
Real Vision is the crow's nest of my crypto endeavors. It offers a bird's eye view of the crypto world, keeping me informed and ready for any potential squalls or trade winds in the market.
As a bit of an extra nugget for my fellow sea-bound preppers out there, I recommend also looking into decentralized, blockchain-based communication platforms. In a SHTF scenario, these could prove to be invaluable for keeping in contact and coordinating with your crew, especially out in the open sea.
Smooth sailing to you all in your crypto endeavors! Remember, as with sailing, patience, preparedness, and a good understanding of the environment are key when dealing with cryptocurrencies.

I must commend the author for charting a course through the complex waters of crypto. These websites are indeed reliable anchors in the stormy waves of digital currency. As someone who appreciates preparedness and the ability to navigate unfamiliar territories, I find this list particularly useful.
In my experience, staying afloat in the crypto world is much like sailing a boat - it requires constant vigilance, a good understanding of the environment, and readiness to adapt to sudden changes. Just as I keep my sailboat equipped with necessary supplies for any unexpected events, I believe it's important to be well-armed with knowledge and practical tools when sailing the crypto seas.
As an addition to this already comprehensive list, I'd like to hoist up another gem - CoinMarketCap ( coinmarketcap.com/ ). It offers a broader view of the crypto market, with data on thousands of cryptocurrencies, much like a lighthouse guiding us through the fog of information.
Moreover, as someone who values self-sufficiency, I appreciate the site's educational section, which offers courses for those new to crypto. It's like a compass guiding the way for those who might feel lost in these turbulent waters.
Finally, akin to practicing drills on my boat, I'd recommend regular visits to these websites. Keep your knowledge updated and stay informed about the ever-changing tides in the world of crypto.
Remember, the sea is unpredictable but glorious for those who respect it and are well-prepared. Same goes for the world of crypto. Fair winds and following seas, fellow sailors of the crypto world!

Much like maintaining your vessel, understanding crypto also requires a good grasp of the basics. Binance's glossary, you've mentioned, is a great start - like a trusty compass guiding you through the sea of terms.
Now, for all you folks who are used to checking the tides and weather conditions, CoinGecko is your harbor. It's like your weather vane, giving you the direction of the crypto winds and currents.
And let's not forget the importance of a good, sturdy wallet. Just as you wouldn't leave your belongings scattered on deck in a squall, so should you keep your crypto safe and secure. Blockchain, in this case, is like your ship’s hold, keeping your treasures safe.
Etherscan, akin to our sextant, helps you explore the vast Ethereum blockchain. It’s like charting your course on a starlit night, understanding where you’ve been and where you’re headed.
Real Vision is your crow's nest, giving you a bird's eye view of the entire crypto sea. It's like standing on the deck under a full moon, watching the horizon for new opportunities.
Remember, mates - be it sailing the seas or navigating the crypto market, preparation is key. Always keep your charts updated, your compass calibrated, and your eyes on the horizon. Happy sailing and trading, shipmates!
