Overview
HODL originated from a 2013 post on the BitcoinTalk forum where a user misspelled 'hold' during a market crash. It has since become a core philosophy in the crypto community, representing a belief in the long-term value of an asset despite short-term price swings.
Meaning
While it started as a typo, it is often back-ronymed as 'Hold On for Dear Life.'
Strategy
HODLers avoid 'panic selling' during dips and 'FOMO buying' during peaks, believing that the best way to profit is simply to wait for years.
