We always use HODL as we Hold on for dear life. But where did this even originated?
Funny thing is this all started with a typo error.
HODL was originally a spelling mistake by a user named ‘GameKyuubi’ on BitcoinTalk. In the original BitcoinTalk thread titled “I AM HODLING,”
GameKyuubi wrote:
"I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER."
Then HODL was later retrofitted to be an acronym (backronym) for “Hold On for Dear Life” which means to not sell no matter how much the price of a coin dips.
