Ha - i didn't know that was the history of HODL. I'm still trying to learn how the blockchain and bitcoin operate. The biggest thing I've learned is the impact of blockchain ledger system and how it keeps a digital record of transactions. And how the transaction history can't be altered.

In Canada I've seen Bitcoin ATMs in coffee shops and convenience stores which is kinda cool.

Its definitely a part of our lives and will continue to grow. The fact I see bitcoin ATMs in convenience stores here in Canada, and the option to purchases houses in the US with bitcoin In the short term i've mostly moved to alt-coins, but still exchange fiat to bitcoin on a weekly basis.
