About

Hodl is an intentional misspelling of the word "hold," which is used among cryptocurrency enthusiasts when encouraging traders to resist the urge to sell one's holdings in response to market fluctuations. Following the term's surge in popularity online, the backronym "hold on for dear life" was subsequently attributed to the term.

Origin

On December 18th, 2013, Bitcoin Talk Forums[1] user GameKyuubi submitted a post titled "I AM HODLING," arguing in favor of holding his bitcoins during a crash. In response to the post, many users mocked the misspelling of the world "hold" in the post title.
