Bitcoin Forum

Many times i have seen people use HOLDLER for people who are keeping their coin for future while some use the term HOLDER. please which of the 2 is the right term used in cryptocurrency slang.

Lol! They are the same dude. The original and formal word is ‘hold’ or which means you keep it by not spending or selling but at some point the word “hodling or hodl” are being use by majority. I don’t exactly know how it started but its just the same meaning. Don’t be confused between the two when you see both of them.

Hold and HODL have the same meaning, the only difference is HOLD is an english dictionary word used for "not selling or keeping it with for a certain or uncertain period", HODL is a slang used in financial markets specially in cryptocurrencies which means the same "not selling or keeping it with for a certain or uncertain period" HODL world is the slang used "Hold on for dear life". I hope it clarifies your query.

HODL is the right spelling for the slang though but its has same meaning as holding or hold ,this has been around back in the days when bitcoin was still very at a young age ,its just a crypto slang and it works ,I like using it as well as I myself is a very dedicated long term crypo HODLER

Both have same meaning, but people use maybe more HODL after the coin HODL appear or even before because maybe they if is more specific and like more the term HODL than Hold. I also like more the HODL term.

It's actually holder. But a user in this forum drunk typed a post and said hodl in place of hold. As holder is for hold, so is hodler is for hodl.
It became so popular that the world hodl got into english dictionary. The one who holds the currencies or stocks they buy in hope of rising in price some day are called hodler.

Here's the link where the word hodl was coined. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

Well if we look  at it from a linguistic point of view, HOLDER should be correct but the term HODL is a jargon that has become common practice in the crypto space creating room for the use of HODLER.. Though I prefer to use the term holder  when referring to a person..

In fact, he used the word HODL intentionally. He has referred it in the thread. It is mostly used for someone who have the confidence that the coin they holding will rise certainly.

Lol..  They are generally the same thing just take that first one as a slang, you can search it up on Google and you will find out how it came to be. Its HODL, HODLER and it means the same thing with what it looks like.

As far as I remember, the word HODL was a slang term for hold. It was being uttered by a drunk user of bitcointalk named "GameKyuubi" who posted the wrong spelling of hold which is hodl on his post entitled "I AM HODLING". Then the rest is history, since then the word hodl has been used instead of hold in Cryptocurrency.

Here's the link of the original post last December 18, 2013.

Note:
Correct me also If I am wrong. I am open for corrections.

In the starting to the work in crypto, l was also confused hold & hold word .but now l am not because both are have same meaning.

Holder of coin in definition means some one who hold coin in his possession but hodl is part cryptocurrency terms it was as a result of an error by a reputable member here when intending to imply hold. But never the less the mean the same thing to us here

It is HODL.

But does that matter? Just hold the damn coin if it deserves holding.
Bitcoin is one good example. You want demands that could improve the value of it? Then keep it. Do not let them buy so much of it so that people will be looking at it everywhere.
Product of it will make bitcoin expensive and also a good hype from the people and social media.

Better get your hands into a couple of bitcoin now.  ;D

Thanks all for clarifying this, i think i understand now, now i can use any of the two interchangeably.

When crypto price we’re increasing massively like 1000X or even more that time this hodl concept or word started the use by community. Hodl means hold on for dear life . It was the term using for crypto millionaire.

I think the same means HOLD means holding a coin and not selling it, it's the same and maybe with what you mean only different word phrases but the goal is the same.

HODLER is the right term to use in crypto, but it looks better if you just use the word HODL as it's more popular and easy to understand.
Not a big deal, those are just words, what tells your future is if you can do the right action.

While you are holding, get inspired to this song.. ;D ;D

Holding/hodling,hodler/holder is just a same thing with same meaning.Hodling means simply holding one or more coin for long term trading and holder is the one who is managing the funds.Holder and hodling is just a like a slang for us traders that preffer to peoples different type of trading

Actually I question this also in my heart. But I don't want to ask which one is right. Because I don't use this term very often. Usually I make more telegram stickers with the words "JUST HODL", which means I use the word HODL more than HOLD.

I find this topic not very relevant to crypto. Almost everyone in the forum understands and knows the words used for this crypto industry

Since you are master know it all, no one forced you to contribute, you could have just moved on without making any utterances and let those who are teachers handle the question, because if i was completely sure, i wouldn't be asking.

Well it should be HODLER and not HOLDLER, and there is really no much difference between hodl and hold, the only difference is that hodl is a crypto slangs and a more stronger word for hold than just making use of hold. Hodl is an abbreviation for hold on to your dear life, that means no matter what happens in the market, you will continue to hold your coin and not dump it for any reason whatsoever.

There is nothing wrong in using the word HODL in place of HOLD.  Hodl is just a slang used in cryptocurrency, after which it was mistakenly used by someone who believes in holding his bitcoin back then in 2013, until the prices increases and until he feels he is already in profit and ready to sell.
Therefore, if you like you use Hodl and if you like use Hold.

Perfect answer, I agree with you. The word "HOLD" is a formal word in the English dictionary and we are often confused when many people say "HOLD" or "HODL" even though the meaning is the same, only the way they say.

They are both the same. Either of the words you use is understandable that they hold coins for the sake of gaining a long term profit.

What I know is that HOLDER holds tokens or coins in the wallet for the sake of waiting for a good price, although many of the holders are disappointed that the price of the coins they predict are not as expected and tend to fall from what they predicted.

They are just the same. Hodler and holder both have the same meaning. Its just a typo made by a user here I think and it became popular to the forum (correct me if I'm wrong).

Man, some of these new people are really fucking stupid..

What you have really said now, does it makes any sense to you at all ? or is it educative? So who is the real stupid one?

HOLDER is the right English term even in the dictionary!
THough we use HODLER and not HOLDLER with cryptocurrency.

This is normal now like the way we compose our text messages sometimes.

Well it looks like the OP has got the right answer yeah, I hope your problem is solved dude and locks this thread. Deepen the terms in the forum and keep reading so you don't miss the news, IMO regarding questions like this thread should be in the Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) section.

The term from holder for me is very close to the feeling of crypto currency that will always want to observe about altcoin which so far is quite easy to be invested by holden, so parties from ethereum also still want to list ourselves to be easier for the coins we have right

What is the difference for you if it is holder or holdler? You can ask for crypto knowledge or trading skills or something other valuable, which can be worthy. People may use differently like holder, hodler. But the thing is the same, but words are different only. Holding coins mean saving it until your coins increase in price. People just say hold and hold. But I think just holding coins will give you much profit. Rather one should learn trading skills.  

such a section exists just problem is that newbies never read anything. they simply create another thread to ask a question.

Both of them is just the same mean, i think nothing the different for these words. Holder actually is a formal word, but people spin off that word be HODL. Is this just only for joke like many people says.
