Bitcoin Forum

Can anyone clarify what this term means? I was wondering if it should really be spelt as "HOLD" or the meaning of "HODL" is really crypto-related. I already tried searching threads that explain this but was unsuccessful. I was very curious since I began reading discussions in bitcointalk and I usually see this term but I just understand it to mean 'hold' which means don't sell yet your coins. Please correct my misunderstanding if any. Thanks for your time.

HODL is same as holding, for some technical purpose its been used within the forum in such a manner. Most of the users have such a confusion in this regard. In my belief it is not selling, it is all about holding for long term or short term expecting an added profit with reference to the growth.

Hodl is basically holding with "love". It is getting used for "this coin will raise so much and its early" or "this coin will recover after dump" situations. I personally love HODL ing people as holding is healthy for markets even if some people jokes them as "bag holders".

That word came from over hype guy at this forum i guess. And everyone else start using that word to replace HOLD. kinda funny though.

it's a typo from a drunk man though, hahaa thanks for the link

I think know you should understand the meaning of HOLD and HODL. If you understand the meaning of HOLD you must lock this thread because many spam conversations are continuously runs in the market. So we must avoid the spam users in crypto market

HODL is a typo, misspelling HOLD. When one of the members here in bitcointalk who said he is going to hold on to bitcoin even if the price fell. Since then it has been popular in bitcoin and cryptocurrency world. With the rise of cryptos, a new breed of lingo has also developed.

Look, for example, someone have bought a coin but it's price suddenly felt down very much, therefore he does't want to sell this coin and decides to keep it in his wallet with a hope that once coin will again rise in price. That means to hodl a coin.

Hodl is more attractive and interesting compare to Hold! Making words that make people to be excited and the same time create or send a powerful message across is considered to be creative and effective.

This is the best strategy ever - if you know you right - stay on yours. If you are sure that crypto will change the world and will increase in price dramatically - hold it and do not let anyone make you sell.  :o

HODL in crypto simply means holding the coin for sometime before you sell.

HODL mean HOLD and it is a common word that used for a long time in crypto. And we are all hodling at the moment.

HODL is also known as holding, it's just a term (form of register on the bitcointalk forum) mostly used on the forum.
Holding basically means keeping your coins for future, not to dump!  to sell at a good price.

It seems to me that someone said this as a joke and many people liked it. I see that many people use this word. Previously it seemed to me that this was just a mistake.

A short term hold can never be a hodl. A true hodl is derived out of belief in a particular crypto with a dash of sentiment. A hodl can however be forced ie: Bag holders, as you can still dump at a loss.

Perhaps this is a typo or an attempt to create a novelty in the jargon of users of cryptocurrencies. I have no doubt in my mind. This is a strategy of holding coins for a long period in order to profit from price increases. This is a favorite strategy of the majority. Therefore, speculators are constantly hunting for these coins.

Exactly it is,HODLING will be more effective when you are holding the right coins ,especially those coins that are best in long term investments.If you are holding shitcoins,regardless of years of holding it wont make any difference so HOLD those coins which are good in long term hold! short term coins doesnt shouldnt be hold for long term.

At my mean it will not "hold to die", i hold for my life, i will be sell at price i plan to sell before. You need to sure plan and will be do when it hit the target. Because the cupid will kill you

Hold on dea life which means literally HOLDING your coins if you are trapped into some coin whenever the market has gone into bloodbath,holding your coisn will be much effective if you are holding only those solid coins that is why we are holding those coins which arent going to crash very hard with these bloodbaths,because surely these coins will recover faster than any shitcoin out there.

HODL is different for different people.
For me it is HODL + TP. That is HODL and take profit regularly. Only hodling won't make you rich nor it is a good strategy for profit making. Think honestly, without taking profit at regular intervals what is the real use of HODL? You are only rich virtually not in the real life until you book profits.

HODL is the technical term used in crypto world, which generally means holding the coins, due to high demand for the crypto coins there are more chances for the prices to increase which if you hold them for longer time, it will help the crypto holder to gain huge profits from their holdings. As every year the price of all the cryptos keeps on increasing and every day new users are entering the crypto world which makes the cryptos more demanding causing the cryptos prices to  shoot up.

Yes, it's probably just a typo, man imell mean hold, ie not to sell less to be patient and wait for better times.

I had the same thought when I was still new to the world of crypto with all these terms such as HODL Until I read a thread explaining how the HODL cam about.  

In chat rooms, on forums, on Twitter, groups of Telegrams and other channels people write with an error: instead of "HOLD" they write "HODL". This error has become very popular in the world of bitcoins and cryptocurrency. Whenever a person says that he "hodling", it means that he thinks the coin will be profitable later, if not today. 
So, "HODL" was originally a typo.

HOLD and HODL are referring the same term holding which means holding the crypto until selling it,But whenever there is a price fall in the crypto currency prices you can see the word HODL more because which is term that means you need to hold with love and trust.So from this you need to remember the word hodl while the prices are falling.

hold and hodl are the same, for me hold is the way to avoid losing my money especially when the market continue to down. to hold coin is not simple because I should to control my self and keep optimistic that  my coin will increase again and someday I will sell in the highest price.

while between this between HODL and HOLD actually have the same meaning, where HODL defines as an investor who has some funds or investment in crypctocurrency by keeping or investing their funds with a certain period according to the target they specify.

Now for example you have an ETH ballance in your wallet, then in a certain period it turns out that eth is decreasing and you judge it to be better retained first, well that means you HODL in ETH.

HODL basically means Holding cryptocurrency. HODL was a typo by a bitcoin member. He meant HOLD but typed wrong. But somehow, it became famous.

So basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym:

“HODL” – “Hold on for dear life”

Internet is strange but cool.

HODL means not selling your savings until the price of the token or coin is really attractive, why people sell their savings as cheaply as today, I just do not understand. I will sell my money only when I really need to buy something

I totally can relate to you OP. The very first time i encountered this term, i paused and told myself, there is no such term. Is it a legit cryptocurrency term? "Hold on for/to dear life". was the meaning i've gotten in my research. A typo error that had been incorporated here ever since it came out.

Hod or Holding both have same meaning.It can be interpreted in different conditions.In crypto we use to show.

1.When market is undergoing dip period dont sell your investment hold it until market recovers and you get return more than your expectations.
2.When you have invested in such a coin which is currently traded at low price and you know that in upcoming years it will increase massively in price you just hold it for that good period.

In my understanding hold is 6 months or more. Many people do not understand this, buy coins and constantly complain that the price falls... On hold you work for the prospect.

HODL is the new term for crypto enthusiasts as HOLD and Hodlers are actually holders.
HODL is the newest trend especially this first quarter that crypto market is crashing and dropping so everyone will be encouraged to Hold or HODL their Crypto Assets in order to save it from losing.

In summary, a trader opens a title in 2013 December. He's mistakenly wrote a letter under the influence of alcohol. Of course, it was quite profitable, in 2013 the Bitcoin price was 500 dollars.

you can look at the details here.

Well HODLING is pronounced sams as holding as far as I know and it has the same meaning as well. This term is mostly used in crypto related investments, I think. It means long term investment and keeping on holding your money rather than panic selling.
I don't think it has any other specific meaning afaik, even I was confused by it in the beggining.

It's a cryptocurrency term used to describe long term investors it's full meaning is 'hold on for your dear life'

I think Hodl is when you keep your altcoins and tokens in your wallet during the dip perserving the poor market for the short time, to later sell at high profit

You are correct, it literally does mean to hold. A forum member misspelled hold to hodl while drinking whiskey. And so the term HODL was coined since then. But then, it was given another meaning, HOLD ON TO/FOR DEAR LIFE. This is more intense in my opinion since this would refer to a trader who is holding on to a coin that is going through a drastic or continuous crash. Also meaning, this term does not apply to traders who are holding coins which are gaining market value.

Simply put,
HOLD (Hold on for Long Duration / Distance / Days - haha! Just made this up!) - keep coins or don’t sell yet while price is increasing to gain more profit. Quite greedy in a way.

HODL (Hold on for Dear Life) - during a crash: keep coins or don’t sell yet while price is low so not to incur any loss. Wait for recovery.

Hold On for Dear Life
You have to be patient and do not be easy to make decisions when the heart is filled with emotion
Patience is the key to all the moments that exist in cryptocurrency
a pair of strong hands is the main weapon of the trader

resistant to the highest price and profitable it for the term investment with cryptocurrency if your purchase price is higher than the selling price it will survive to hold it until the selling price is higher than the purchase price

HODL is a slang term and Internet meme that is used in the cryptocurrency community when referring to holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. Examples of when the term applies: When prices drop 50% from their all time high, you hodl. When articles come out saying cryptocurrency will die out, you hodl. When a country bans icos and close down exchanges, you hodl.

HODL is where you have to keep your coins in a long time to avoid losses
HODL is perfect for whale investors
you will always have a backup fund to keep watch against unstable market conditions

Hodl is a cryptocurrency alternative name for hold because there is a history behind that. I've searched also why does the crypto fanatics used that term though there is a good one. Definitely, it started when somebody was misspelled the title named hodling instead of holding. The "hodl" term was first used in BTT forum during 2013.

Reference: https://steemit.com/crypto/@razvanelulmarin/cryptotrading-history-hodl (https://steemit.com/crypto/@razvanelulmarin/cryptotrading-history-hodl)

Literally it means holding,HODL is just another abbreviation for hold which stands HOLD ON DEAR LIFE and it is being widely use by the holders in the community,especially those people who got trapped in a certain coin or those long term investors who bought longterm coins and doing anything at the market but to hold their coins.

Wow... how many people is gonna reply to this thread?

the OP's doubt has already been cleared up more than FORTY TIMES!

Came on guys, why are you spamming this forum posting the same shit over and over again? Are you serious? Fucking shitposters..

It becomes a slang word. Hold word doesn’t exist itself rather it identifies the holding. Simply, there is no rocket science hidden in this world that this man is trying to find. It was simply the hold and people call it hold just for fun or style. And like you have said, this means keep your investment with you and be panic and definitely don’t sell your asset at low cost. Keep holding everyone.

I was also confused about "HOLD" as you are here. HOLD is the term used in Crypto currency as holding of tokens or coins in your account. in Crypto Selling and Holding is termed as SELL and HODL.

HODL for me this is like to burn the bitcoins into a CD and put them in a box with a melodrama that I watch with my wife only on the anniversary.

HODL means they hold their coins, so the price does not go down quickly.

Cryptosphere has its own lingo and it takes a little getting used to. Maybe this term started as a gaff, or typo, whatever the reasons it stuck with the crypto community and is posthumously recognized and accepted to mean hold on for dear life, sounds about right and fits right into the sentiment too. :D

This one explains it all.
I was also a newcomer back then and maybe even now, but going back to newbie days I searched for the meaning of HODL also and found that it means "Hold On for Dear Life" and it was quite funny and amusing in the same way.

Hodl (often written HODL) is a slang term and Internet meme that is used in the Bitcoin community when referring to holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. It originated in a December 2013 post on the Bitcoin Forum message board by an apparently inebriated user who posted with a typo in the subject, "I AM HODLING." In 2017, Quartz listed it as one of the essential slang terms in Bitcoin culture, and described it as a stance, "to stay invested in bitcoin and not to capitulate in the face of plunging prices." TheStreet.com referred to it as the "favorite mantra" of Bitcoin holders.
Since entering the Bitcoin vernacular, HODL has become a backronym for "hold on for dear life".

These details get from wikipedia

It is a term used for holding a certain coin or "Hold On for Dear Life."  People in crypto use the term HODL when they reffer to the term HOLD, it is a slang term used by most crypto users.

This is the case, so that you can make the most of the consequences. Thank you so much, that you just grew up, and that word became so symbolic, especially in the current world.

HODL means that coins have not to be SODL ;D

HODL is HOLD how come? Hahaha I don't really know but this term is used for long time. It's holding a certain coin waiting for it until it reach beyond the value when you first bought it in order to have profit.

HODL is a word, which is using only in crypto related topics! About, Four years ago, This word has come in Crypto World. Do you remember a character in Game Of Thrones TV series, Whose name was HODL!

We are using this word as a slang! And, It means HOLD!

HODL It means that the price fluctuations associated with the crypto are so great and the expected return is also so great that you are going to want to ride through the downturns are take advantage of the price increases so hold in a meaning hold your coins and wrote HODL instead and went it quite viral afterwards it usually used in a context of not selling your coins i think so

In actual this word is HOLD not HODL , but in the cryptocurrency field most of the people are doing Thier own experiment and try to show Everything in another logical way of understanding .
Here HODL means hold your assets that you have for bulk amount of profit and also don't go for the panic sell .
HODL word most of the times we can see when whole market of any coin going much down or dump then we say to everyone that don't go for the  panic sell Because this is a time of HODL , if you will hold then market will get better support easily .
So here this is simply a hold and changed by hodl to show more creative word in cryptourrency .

That's seems like error but it is not. It's like a manner to name "hold" - "hodl" that also have his own value that means - "holding your coins before something happens"

HODL just means that you should hold your fundamental good coins for  the long run. I recommend you guys to hold your great coin that have a future for long term. Sooner or later they will take off!

It’s a trading lingo which just basically means to hold your coin. If some of you are not aware, there are actually some words or terms used in trading wherein traders have their own understanding; HODL could be referred to as “Hold on for Dear Life” and if abbreviated spelled out as HODL.

I guess it start in a mistake to type hodl and unfortunatrly it uses by a lot of users. No other deep meaning hold is hodl. Spelling did change but nothing different.
Just guess

The term HODL can be translated to 'Hold on for Dear Life' and is the same as the term HOLDING with a more serious sense to it. In this market, it is the strategy to not do business either by way of trading away or selling away your coins, especially when their values are low or is not gaining. Instead, the better move is to just hold on to them until such time they regain their value back and get the value they lost.

Hold means you one coins hold they give us free coins without hardworking and they get free money.

Not only you, me too was wondering before why they say HODL instead of HOLD. But now I understand, the meaning of HODL is Hold on for dear life. It means that they believe their coin will be profitable one day.

HODL is slang for “Hold On for Dear Life.” It means that the price fluctuations associated with the crypto are so great, but the expected return is also so great that you are going to want to ride through the downturns are take advantage of the price increases.

At first I was also confused with the word '' HODL '', then after asking in one of the telegram group I get the answer. and this is actually just a change of writing only, do not know who started by changing '' HOLD '' to '' HODL ''

HOLD is when at time of crisis like we are in now, you have to hold your horses, wait until the market goes up again and release the horses :)

hold according to the knowledge that I know and what I read is holding the coin you have when the price goes down and you should not sell your coin sold at a very cheap price from when you buy it.

Hahaha... I thought all the words here inside the forum system must have a correct spelling, and misspelled words are not accepted, so why word hold is acceptable as hodl? Now I know that the word hodl is acceptable in the forum as long as in the cryptocurrency business also, because many times I was reading the word like that, and I don't know what's the real meaning of that  before, and when I seen the question I was trying to view and now I know.

Some idiot had a typo in "Hold" at some point and everyone jumped on the bandwagon LOL

It means to not sell

Hodl with Hold! Making words that are almost identical to the word because it can give a different taste,
And this perception is more creative and effective. But for now it's better on to save ...

As far as I know about HOLD is holding back, it means holding the coins we have for our sale later if the price is in accordance with what we want.

HODL is like a slang for Hold! This language is intended to emphasize the importance of holding your asset. Not selling your cryptocurrency until they become valuable and rise in price.

I explain about HODL.
Its the hard meaning of HOLD. That is you have some coin, you reserve/stock your coins in your personal wallet. Which you do not wants to sell within 6/12 months. That is HODL.
On other hand, you have some stock. After few days that is 1/2 months, you saw the market is up/you need money then you sold. That 1/2 months stock is HOLD.
I think its clear.

my personal "hold" is sell your coins in high price  to people  in bull marketand buy back cheap price . from people in bear market .

The first time I saw this on a subject and reading what it entails I just use it has hold subsequently seeing this then I know that is definitely mean to hold and since then I have been referring to it has holding.

It's clear, we take the money and carry it to the stock exchange. There we buy the necessary tokens and keep them waiting for growth as the Christmas holiday.

It means "Hold On for Dear Life". It is been used by traders in fiat and also adopted when crypto trading starts. Other thinks that it was an invented word from crypto but the word is already existed before bitcoin came.

This implies a strategy under the holding of Hold) just a joking phrase and no more. This strategy is best in crypto-currencies

For everyone in different ways. In the crypt it is difficult to estimate the time frame of holding coins. Since BTC is not ALTs, and vice versa...

Holding is holding and that is it.
It shouldn't matter what coins the person has because he would have the coins that he purchased.

golding is a good action because now is the right time to be used as a potent weapon to avoid losses, so hold can be used to temporarily save assets to wait for the price to rise high

I've red about it before and it was said that it was spelled as it is because a member of a forum misspelled it (HODL instead of HOLD). Since then it was being used by other members. There is no difference in meaning, its just a misspelled qord that was already used as a technical term in the forum and even in the telegram.

in my opinion, Hold which in the intent here is it is about holding for long term or short term expecting an additional advantage of price movements in the market ...

HODL is a mantra that recommends that as high as any Bitcoin price now, do not be careless.

From my point of view, HOLD is known as holding and the most widely used in the forum. And basically, hold your coin savings for the future, and sell for a good price. But do not throw it away.

I don't know how did mantra came in to this discussion that points out about HODLING.

This is where it all started, the legendary says - "I AM HODLING (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0)"

It is just the same as holding and hold is the most widely used in the forum. And basically, hold your coin savings for the future, and sell for a good price. But do not throw it away.

for me its the same as holding which mean you need to hold your token depend of price go up and patient is the key

To HODL simply means not to sell your crypto and keep them for better pricing in future, Its just Holding , but used in a reverted way as a mantra

It's simple , this term means that you should not sell your coins and should expect some time that the price would have increased several times

It's the same as HOLD aka holding. You keep a coin for a while, deciding not to sell coins for a while in hopes of getting more profit.

The term hold or hodl are same in meaning.I would explain under what circumstances you should HODL your investment.
Market is drastically under dip and you know that if you wanna sell you can not cover even your buying value,so HODL your investment.
When market is very low but you know that your coins have great aptitude to grow in price in future,hold your investment.

this is easy, but it seems like your understanding of English is very bad. HOLD is your asset's hold, as you say, do not sell your token or altcoin when the price goes down. wait until the new high rise price you can sell or trade. this is a simple example

I don't know where the word HODL starts from but that is obviously a typo error for the word HOLD. Maybe because a lot of Cryptotraders lacks sleep they tend to mispell the world HOLD. And that's what I think the term HODL starts ;D

Just for fun: My meaning for the word HODL: Hold On Dear Lambo  ;D

Define a strategy. How many times did you sell and buy cryptocurrency in one week? Some people want to be daily traders, but many people have proven that holding for the long term is more fruitful. A strategy I always tell the newest in cryptocurrency is "buy and hold". The longer you plan to hold a cryptocurrency, the more risk you face. Unless there is an unfortunate indicator of what is going on behind a cryptocurrency, then you have to make a decision to cut loss (sell it).

HODL has deeper meaning in the world of cryptography. It means more than just holding. It means deeper belief in bitcoin. I think it's stupid to keep HODL on altcoin.

I admit that when I first saw the word "HODL" I was really wondering what it was.  Is it just a typo error or it has a different meaning in crypto?  A thought came that whoever started this word, definitely he/she's from another nationality.  Because we all know that Americans are very fluent in English and do perfect in spelling.  By constant reading in different forum, I realized, it wasn't a mis-spelled.  It has a very important meaning .  It is a very important reminder which we have to consider,  So, I therefore conclude that "HODL" means HOLD for a great SUCCESS.

To be honest, hodl is just a typo of the "hold" term, there is nothing special about it. Hodl means holding, we just adopted its slang term because it is kind a cool. And I disagree to your opinion that holding an altcoin is stupid, it is you who are stupid, HODLING every coins you have right now and selling it in the right time means profits in the next pump.

I mean that I bought some altcoins and will hold them in my portfolio for 6-12 months. Nothing can change my decision, even bad or excellent market conditions. After that perion of time I decide what to do the next.

Others understand "HOLD" as not to sell in panic when the market is going down.

HODL means Hold on Dear Life it means that you should hodl your coin if it is for a long term goal and it will give you more profits.

When typing fast the letters “L” and “D” in  “hold” may be changed b mistake. This is now a new crypto-related word hodl appeared. So you were right with your assumptions.

Hodl=hold

If tou are taking an exam you should spell it hold. But if you are using it for personal assets you can spell it either way

To me, it means investing in a project, setting goals at a specific ROI in either ETH or USD, holding till the price meets the goal and then sell. Sometimes I set different price levels for different percentages to sell.

HODL is derived from a misspelling of "hold"  which means buy-and-hold strategies in the context of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Its just Holding, simply not to sell your crypto currency and keep them for better pricing in future,

HODL - is to keep, this word became popular after a mistake on some forum. Crypto community has picked up this word and is now using it. : :)

According to what I know Hodl is a lot of people who say hodl hold that means holding back and that even hold the coins you have when altcoin prices go down because avoid the losses you have because the strategy of holding coins in the long term to benefit from rising prices is the way right

Holding means to buy your coins and to not sell them for the period of time you want. I am holding for 2 years so this means I am not selling my coins

I mean that holding is a condition in which a person does not want to get misbehaved by letting go of what they have. as withholding a coin, holding a coin is very appropriate when the market undergoes a hoarding. because if we sell it the market will go down and bigger losses.

HODL debut took place in 2013 at bitcointalk. Post name GameKyuubi opened the thread "I AM HODLING".
It seems that the author got drunk and wanted to share what he was holding his BTC despite the serious drop that just happened. Since then, this error has become very popular in the world of bitcoins and cryptocurrencies. Whenever a person says that he is walking (hodling), this means that he believes the coin will be beneficial later, if not today. So, " HODL "was originally a typo, which earned the status of humorous backronym:" HODL", Hold on for dear life — "hold on from the last forces."

HODL means " hold on for dear life". It means that you believe your coin will be profitable one day, if not today. Actually, I don't have too much of time, so I usually choose some potential coins ( maybe 2 -3 ) and hold for long-term.

HODL is hold, if someone said this word, which means they are talking about holding coins. Maybe when a significant fluctuation occurs or when you lack of time, you should insist on potential coins and forward your rules.

HODLING originated way back 2013 as a meme in one bitcoin forum messages. It is also a backronym for "hold on for dear life" which means even if tge prices are plunging hold on to you investments since there will be a time where the market will come back again. This is true most of the time you will lose everything once you sell your coin or tokens.

in this forum the word "HOLD" is more popular with the meaning of "holding", holding a coin with the purpose and belief that the coins will be appreciated higher in the future. and in a bloody market condition you still think that the coin you hold will be profitable and not think to sell it.

HOLD is a term of traders and investors which means to HOLD and have patience. It is something that we must all have as we do trading which is to hold patiently as long as the market is bloody or as long as the value of our holdings is low. Hold on dear life as what others say, it is really a term used by hopeful traders to earn better and to have a positive outlook while earning.

HODL means HOLD. Actually it came from mistaken typing of word of a very good trader way back 4 years ago if I'm not mistaken. He told the traders to hold their investments because the up trend is coming but instead of typing the word HOLD, he mistype it as HODL. So since then, HODL word is often use during bullish period.

Hodl means Hold some one accidently  typed HODL in reddit then every one accepted it as Hodl from then crypto community where saying Hodl Hodl for every coin

I believe it was originally a typo of HOLD and it just caught on in the cryptocurrency world.  I forget who typed it but it was someone from this forum.  It just means to be patient and hold onto your cryptocurrencies until the market recovers.

What is HODL, do you really want to know what a great word it is? I think that many people tell you here for a reason, it's really the whole art of HODL, in order to possess it, you have to be a very, very patient person and not get caught up in the ridiculous antics of fate that is experiencing us.

Is good to know the history of the term but I will advice to get the cryptocurrency glossary online and get used to the terms. You may not have to keep opening threads for every terms you do not understand.

The term came from the word itself, it came from the word hold. So it means hold your money. When somebody told you that hodl that coin, it simply means that hold your coin until it booms :).

Someone just made a mistake in writing this word. But other people liked this mistake. Now, "HODL" has become a very popular expression. I also like it and I use it. The meaning of this word you understand correctly))) By the way it's a little bit in tune with Hodor ;D

HODL is a common word in crypto world specialy in trading group chat like troll box and some trading discussions. HODL, HODLING, MOON, LAMBO, and PUMP,DUMP is a common but unique words that only crypto trader only can undrstand.

The meaning of HODL is holding for example the coin has a potential it is good to hold.

hodl is also known as HODLING which means to survive and not sell the coins we have, even when the price is falling, we must patiently play with the long-term game and not easily tempted by the opportunity to earn a lot of money and get rich suddenly especially if you are the type people who continue to see Bitcoin price movements.

Hodling means storing your altcoins for a long time to earn a bigger profit. It means you will not trade or sell it yet until the price of the coin reach the moon! Hodl is an another term for hold.

The meaning of HODL I understand is to hold, or to control what you want to get. In order to have it, you must be a very, very patient person. If you have enough patience, you will get more. Wealth. ;D

HODL = Hold On for Dear Life, that mean bought crypto for very long investment until they get huge profit, lets say people bought crypto in 2012 and still dont sell yet untill now, that called HODL. Usually people who did it is early adopter who bought Bitcoin in cheap price. HODL is for investor who want to make profit  in very long term investment and dont have times to do trading.

hold is to hold altcoin or the currency crypto in the long run or short usually this is done by investors who spend a lot of funds ago in a short time altcoin is drastically reduced then to restore funds and hope to get a big profit then the investors are holding altcoin which they have until the price is restored.

HODL means also HOLD, meaning if you have coins altcoin or bitcoin when they say it is good to HODL your coins at this moment because the market value is low, it means you should hold and not to sell your coins.

It is an internet slang for crypto that means "Hold on dear life" . It means holding the coin for the long term. But the big loophole for that is you can't hold a coin forever. In investing on this kind of market, The profit is made by selling. So if you wont sell you wont make any profits at all. You need to do due diligence in able to know what your target is when you are going to sell.

It means not getting distracted by short-term market movements while the market is panicking. I think of it as "hold on for dear life." It takes enormous discipline not to sell during a panic.

I think "HOLD" is an important strategy to apply when you invest in the crypto world. You can hold your coins when the market is unfriendly to you, when the market price is down, this strategy is very good and appropriate to apply to this situation. In order for you not to lose much of your money, so you do not feel harmed by crypto you can hold your coins up to the market price back up.

You do not have to sell your coins for sale at very cheap prices from the time you buy them. Keep up with the knowledge I know and what I read is holding the coins you have when the price goes down

HODL
Where it all began, or so legend has it, was back in 2013 when a user commented right here on BitcoinTalk, and an innocent typo became an instant meme lingo sensation. What did he spell incorrectly? HOLD. You will often hear people say HODL (Hold On For Dear Life) or HODLing.
The act of HODLing coins (waiting for them to rise and make the holder a Bitcoin millionaire), is often considered a newb, or newbie, trait, however, many cryptocurrency investors HODL.

Don’t sell — HODL dude!

HOLD means holding something. It refers to a thing that can be stored for a long time and wait for the right time. This is one of my strategy that I used in regard with cryptocurrency. Don't panic just calm and hold.

just a slang word for "hold" i believe

The very first time the term HODL appeared on the Bitcoin talk forum was in 2013 and came from a member named GameKyuubi under the thread “I AM HODLING”. basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym:
From the look of the post, he was drunk and wanted to convey the fact that he was holding his BTC despite the serious fall that had just happened.
Since then, this misspelled term became very popular in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency world. Whenever a person says in a conversation that he/she is hodling or suggests to hodl, it means that they believe their coin will be profitable one day, if not today.
So basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym:
“HODL” – “Hold on for dear life”"

It's a misspelling of HOLD from a very hilarious drunken bitcoin rant years ago. It means hold on at all costs, stay the course, and don't sell because of a dip. It's an inside joke for us. Most people have adopted the acronym Hold On for Dear Life.

It means hold. As in, hold on to your bitcoin, don't sell. hodl stands for Hold On for Dear Life. I read another post that said hodl was a reddit users typo that stuck.

HODLing is the key to make money in Crypto, and FOMO is something that leads people to loss.
There are many other terms that we all should know so that we can make money investing!

A few years back, someone made a legendary post to r/bitcoin. It made the front page of r/all and I think it became the highest rated bitcoin post ever. It's basically a free-wheeling rant about why he's shamelessly decided to hold his bitcoin. This was at a time when a lot of folks were starting to become traders...but not this guy. He's decided to hodl! (He was drunk as he typed). Even with all the mispellings and obvious inebriation, his words resonated with many people and became kind of an anthem to all those "hodlers" out there.

That was a girl that had a typo.

This is the best position in cryptocurrency . Bought at the bottom or on the sale of ICO and keep your asset for 1-2 years , and then enjoy the profit . But before buying you need to study that take

HODL means HOLD, it was a typo from this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

Eventually the community just turned HODL to abbreviate Hold On for Dear Life, as it seemed apt to ones scenario of holding crypto-currency in hopes of it rising again.

So true. So many words were Greek to me when I first came into crypto. Some sites have compiled Crypto Words and their meanings (http://www.buy-crypto.info/info-guide/common-crypto-words-terms-meaning/) articles to help newbs better understand the terms

Whenever a person says in a conversation that he/she is hodling or suggests to hodl, it means that they believe their coin will be profitable one day, if not today.

Hodl (/ˈhɒdəl/ HOD-əl; often written HODL) is a slang term and Internet meme that is used in the Bitcoin community when referring to holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. ... TheStreet.com referred to it as the "favorite mantra" of Bitcoin holders.

Its seems that many investor use this world to earn more,if you are holding some tokens and altcoin and actually all you want for them is to hold and hold and sell until the price are getting to pump.For me holds is the besy way when you are stickly holding about some coins and you want to earn more.

HOLD is in fact an art of patience, this art is unfortunately not available to every market participant, I think that in general people have very different views on crypto-currencies, but HOLD should always be

Knowing the true meaning of HODL took me a while until I joined a WhatsApp group where i kept seeing everybody saying HOLD on coins that they bought. i later discovered it meant HOLD. it's still the best form of investment in crypto

Hodl is basically holding with "love". It is getting used for "this coin will raise so much and its early" or "this coin will recover after dump" situations. I personally love HODL ing people as holding is healthy for markets even if some people jokes them as "bag holders". ;)

Maybe it's like a word of encouragement when the market is really down.

From my point of view, HOLD is known as holding and the most widely used in the forum. And basically, hold your coin savings for the future, and sell for a good price. But do not throw it away.

So I've red about it before and it was said that it was spelled as it is because a member of a forum misspelled it (HODL instead of HOLD). Since then it was being used by other members. There is no difference in meaning, its just a misspelled qord that was already used as a technical term in the forum and even in the telegram.

One of the big things I focus on is mindset training. Create daily habits and routines to help you focus, processing information, focus, prepare better, deal with anxiousness, improve your physical fitness, and other aspects to put you in a peak state. Markets are volatile. Information can be instantaneous.  Data moves quickly into and out of markets that require fast and accurate judgement.  You can’t control that side of the trading equation, but you can control the “you” that you bring to trading.  A combination of high performance daily habits heightens your probability of consistency in yourself. Focus on what you can control in trading, and that is you.

If you can become consistent in your trading process in terms of executing your edge and your money management, and you have a positive trade expectancy sizing properly is essential for growing your trades.  Some traders trade too big too quickly, which causes inconsistency and usually a large setback.

hodl simply in a laymans term to keep your coin for a period of time.

It is defined as  a slang term or meme in the internet that is used in the Bitcoin community when referring to holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it. Most of the people choose holding crypto currencies rather than selling it that's why the HDOL was coined. You are holding you coin for a long period of time for a purpose.

Yes, it means to hold for a little bit longer so that you can get a higher profit. They use that because accidentally it was misspelled or they are wrong when typing. But the important we really understand why it is needed to hold.

HODL is still thesame thing as HOLD and it simple means a process in which you buy a coin and then decide not to sell it to keep it for some time to get more profit from the projects.

Hold is a familiar term in crypto, which means a decision not to sell coins or tokens and store them until the time limit specified by the holder. Holding a potential coin in the long run is more likely to gain high profits.

The word "HODL" was originally derived from the story https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0 you can check it and read his story. It becomes popular because of the post that many people made it for fun. a simple story beyond the word HODL. There are things that accidentally happened that will be more memorable to other people in the way that they used it as a definition for a certain situation or event.

HODL = HOLD are just have the same meaning but different spelling/term with a twist on its spelling. We can't blame people in creating new terms/words because they are fun of it and wants to isolate its word/meaning in cryptocurrency world but sometimes it was being created accidentally and other people think that is a new derivation from other field.

HODL was originally a typo of HOLD. It became popular in the crypto space. But some persons, with great sense of humor, have come to give its meaning to be 'Hold For Dear Life.' Which is basically telling you to hold your coins for long term.

A fancy way of say hold

HODL as far as i know is Hold On to Dear Life which mean I guess is to hold on to the coins you hold no matter what or no matter what the price may go (down). Keep on believing on it, till then price rises up and gain profit.

HODL this is HOLD, only with a humorous overtones. Perhaps you already saw a lot of gif formats or videos, where crypto-enthusiasts ridicule exchanges and trade. They prefer to keep coins in their own hands, believing that in tens of years they will cost millions.

of course you must have knowledge and broad insight, the meaning of the hold is to hold crypto you have. but basically you have to involve the knowledge and research that is going on. this is to strengthen your assumptions to hold it until it's time to sell.

It is a very simple complication to solve. We can say that hodl and hold are same things that figure ıt about same thing. Problem is solved bro.

hodl is a way to save coins or restrain not to sell it in the market. in fact, hodl it is also a way that we can be more patient. Wait for the coin will hit the target. And then can we sell comply with the targets.

Hodl or hold are usually use a long term investment. Hold mean you holding a cryptocurrency and wait it till it pump or give a good price. But many holders they hold thier currency almost 1 year or more

There are two ways you can invest in  the cryptocurrency market, one is that you purchase a coin and immediately trade it in value as soon as it reaches your profit requirements on a short-term, if you keep with the coin for a long-term for greater profit then that is called holding

the Essence of HODL and HOLD is pretty much the same.
but if anyone, ever mentioned it. like in this forum
it really means holding on crypto.
i pretty think that HODL really means holding and this term is used only related to the crypto

Based on trivia I Iearned in some crypto meetups, some crypto enthusiasts says that theres a famous druken trader that says HODL long ago and they say that is the reason why traders say HODL when they are keeping their crypto asset for few months or years.

I mean buying it and keeping a coin for a year or more. Although I've seen people who think that it's enough to store a few months and it's already "HODL"

Glad someone knows. It originated from kyuubi a member here in bitcointalk where he posted while drunk. Spelled hold as hodl and everyone started making fun of it

Hodl is same as hold it means hold the coin for long term. May be in starting it was typo error but later it is meant to be hold for dear life hodl..

It is just the normal English term "hold" and it became a crypto trend to call it as "hodl" instead of "hold". Basically, It means any coin that your purchased should not be sold until it attains a x25 or x50 in value. This strategy is termed as hodl.

Hodl - this is a certain tactic in the trade. This is when you buy a coin and keep in the long run

"HODL is a popular crypto-currency slang sometimes means to "HOLD for long term" or literally means "Buying Low and Sell High" that is the meaning of "HODL" and not just this slang many of them is used in Crypto-Community such as "BTFD" "BAGHODLER" FOMO" "WEAKHANDS" and many more.

If some of you are not aware, there are actually some words or terms used in trading wherein traders have their own understanding; HODL could be referred to as “Hold on for Dear Life” and if abbreviated spelled out as HODL.

Hodl means holding, we just adopted its slang term because it is kind a cool. And I disagree to your opinion that holding an altcoin is stupid, it is you who are stupid, HODLING every coins you have right now and selling it in the right time means profits in the next pump.

Hodl just mean hold

in my fancy, hold which in the goal hither is it is embodying retentive symbolizing hunger expression or infielder expression expecting an besides edge of payoff movements in the bazaar

Hodl also means hold.HoldCoin is simply a long-term investment, meaning choosing a coin that you feel is potential, promising "longevity" and keeping it for a long time (from about 2.3.5 months to several years). ) and until the price of coin grows to the right level of your target, you will be profitable. However, not all hold will be profitable, if you do not choose the right coin then the probability of loss is very high

In essence, HODL means HOLD, that is, hold, in the case of an electronic money player when a person holds a coin that is not sold, regardless of how the price goes down. The community does not use the original word but uses a reverse word derived from a member post that has a Game Kyuubi nickname on our bitcointalk-forum, titled "I AM HODLING", which is Posted on December 18, 2013. Bitcoin has experienced the first strong rally in its history, rising from $ 130 to a peak of $ 1130 on Dec. 5, 2013. , BTC started dropping and the strongest drop on December 18, when the price of BTC was just over 500. The electronic currency was very confused, and he The humor of the title (wrong spelling), plus the content of the call to enthusiasm that this guy wrote was quickly responded by other members. Many "HODL" co-stars and even meme supporters. The term "HODL" is also derived from that.

And all at once rushed to tell a legend about the famous typo))) The case is funny. Now this error will leave an imprint in the history))

As I have heard there was one user who wrote his appeal to the community in agony to not to sell their assets and he just made the typo :D Some other members loved this word as is and decided to use it. So hold is holding your coin when hodl is extreme holding when you should restrain yourself as strong as you can ;D

actually yes!...hodl, is simply hold!..meaning when the price is low, hold!..do not sell, because in the end, you will lost!...not something but your investment!..be careful guys..

its a Hold On Dear Life or HODL. for holding tokens and investments can create a massive financial of living in the future. so, if you hold a huge amount and    keep holding til the peak reached. and i also heard about drunk trader, typing on keyboard from "Hold to Hodl"

Under the HOLD abbreviation, I understand to keep bought tokens until the sale price suits me completely.

I think that you should hold if you want to become a successful trader taking not many risks. to my mind, it is better to hold not trading every day because you can lose not as much

My understanding of hold is that you need to wait for the project that interested you to go through the whole road map and cause interest among users and investors

HODL is when you hold a bag no matter what the price is and sell only when you reach some time limit, probably long time like year, 5 years etc. Holding needs huge courage and patience as you might feel like selling when the price is high or even wants to move on to a different coin when the price keeps tanking. But if you are a true HODLer you will not be moved by anything and "Hold On To Dear Life"

HODLing is an extreme sport  8)

In 2013, one guy was sealed when he wrote a message. Since then, this error has become very popular in the world of crypto-currency. Whenever a person says that he is hodling, this means that he believes the coin will be profitable later, if not today.

if I think the hold is holding a coin or anything in the long run when we trade or invest in conditions that are not good, such as the decline in our commodity prices and we also have to wait for the right time to sell at high prices

The very first time the term HODL appeared on the Bitcoin talk forum was in 2013 and came from a member named GameKyuubi under the thread “I AM HODLING”.

From the look of the post, he was drunk and wanted to convey the fact that he was holding his BTC despite the serious fall that had just happened.

Since then, this misspelled term became very popular in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency world. Whenever a person says in a conversation that he/she is hodling or suggests to hodl, it means that they believe their coin will be profitable one day, if not today.

So basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym:

Hold and Hodl have the same meaning of holding or not selling coins in a bad market situation. Hodl is used only in terms of crypto trading. the history that I know the word hodl comes from the wrong people say hodl at the time of trading crypto.

HOLD and HODL are actually the same, I do not know where HODL comes from in the world crypto, but definitely HOLD is one of the strategies to invest in crypto world, by buying altcoin and in the long run waiting for altcoin to rise

I don't really know if HODL it is an abbreviation or just such a slang word. But what I know really it is that HODL has become a credo for many users and many of them have become rich because of crypto holding.

It means none other than hold. However, hodl means going against the predefined rules and being a rebel with the mentality and having a faith in this innovation. Bitcoin and blockchain gained momentum over the years and now it is growing day by day but still, sometimes things go wrong and market shows lowest levels and at this stage, it becomes more important to have faith on the values and Hodling our investments.

For me HODL has the same signification as Hold it means that even if the Price of Your tokens Goes Down You Will not Panic Sell them for à low Price. Instead You Will wait for the tokens Price to go up Before Selling, so basically holding is Waiting for the Price to go up. But i don.t from Where hodl was used for the First Time instead of Hold.

In Bitcointalk, you can visit and read this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0
The expression HODL came from thread linked above.

Hodl is like the symbol of an organization, maybe it is not floating so you will not find out.
Or maybe you have mistaken Hodl for hold coin.
If TradeCoin is a short-term investment, then HoldCoin is simply a long-term investment, meaning choosing a coin that you feel is potential, promising "longevity" and keeping it for a while. long (from about 2.3.5 months to several years) and until the price of coin grows to the right level of your target, you will sell profitably. However, not all hold will be profitable, if you do not choose the right coin then the probability of loss is very high.

It's about the situation when you have 1 btc for example and you still keep it in your wallet despite the fact that currency drops.
You just wait for TOTHEMOON and hodl, hodl, hodl..

HODL is actually the wrong spelling. It means the same as HOLD. You just need to know that it is just a word that lives in the cryptocurrency market!

There will be a simple way of saying like this is to sell what you have and keep what you need. That's my way of saying "Hold".

HODL is a misspelled version of HOLD. It became a meme on forums.

Give me a break. You know what it means and you also know that all you have to do is put the term in a search engine and have your answer immediately.

Simply put, HODL comes from the word "HOLD" with the wrong spelling but it's intentional.
which means not selling coins that we have or still holding coins that we have even when prices fall.

So far, that's my understanding of the term HODL.

To differentiate it without getting into the technicalities for the beginners out there, trading or day trading is short-term investments and the accepted term for long-term investments in the market is called holding

You can hodl but definitely it is important to sell on time also. Don't get emotionally too attached...

Hodl is for hold. I think it is a crypto related word. Because I have not seen this before in any other field.

Don’t FOMO or Sell , Just Hodl
Stupid meme words  ;D

hodl is holding coins when the price drops. hodl is very important to reduce losses. when prices drop dramatically, never pan sell.

HODL in cryptocurrency refers to HOLDING,that means one must HOLD cryptocurrency for long term and not get into any kind of panics.

Just HODL, means keeps holding :D
this misspell has been popular since Bitcoin become mainstream and we need to makes one action when market going red, stay HODL (keep your asset) and don't be panic to sell.

The term HOLD refers to people who accumulate cryptocurrency and do not sell it under any circumstances. In the long term, they certainly benefit compared to those who sold their assets in the fall of the market.

That word came from an over drunk guy at this forum I guess. And everyone else starts using that word to replace HOLD.

HODL in use by traders who will hold that come fall and waited for the price climb back someday, whether it’s when. I read in an article that has its own meaning, Namely HODL “ Hold On for Dear Life”.

If you're a newbie you will get confused and maybe you can search it in google what does it mean.  :) In the world of crypto HODL means to hold or holding.  If you want a big profit you need to invest more time and more patience not only the money but you must HODL it and wait for the time to pump then that's the right time to sell.

Yes it's GameKyuubi --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=26945

And this is the thread --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

For real I would really want to know why it's HODL and not HOLD,  I saw the word the first time and I was a bit confused..  Hahahahaha,  terms in Crypto world tho..  Will read other replies to know more about the reply.

Cheers to the guy  ;D
I guess it's clear now what HODL means.

HOLD reserve coin keep until the price goes up,do not see the low price that sell
If you like the price, please hold, and no sell now ! Keep hold
