[globalrampallian]

Hey every one, i don'l understand people used HODL, according to the Oxford dictionary, HOLD means correct?

HODL does not make sense in the dictionary.

HODL is a meme that started here on bitcointalk, as someone in the past made a typo.

Another explanation: HODL = Hold On for Dear Life

Here is a good read on that: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hodl.asp

In early bitcoin forums, someone posted a message that spelled the word "hold" wrong, and readers interpreted it as an acronym "hold on for dear life," Saddington explains. "Now, it's become a meme of sorts, so that when the prices are highly volatile, bitcoin buyers say 'HODL!'" Saddington describes himself as "a long-term HODLER."

Hodl is the worst running gag ever. People do this by convention because of a typo from one drunk person (as legends say).

I prefer hold instead of hodl.

Hodling comes from a topic started by a bitcointalk forum member, hold means you should not trade, sell or care about the price of the coin, just hodl .

Dude, just someone made a typo on the form and it turned into a meme and nothing more.

Hold and Hodl are same sense, Don't think it hard, Let's enjoy your day, And Keep Holding mannn,, Do you have any good coin to holding long term, let me know if you have 😁

1. It’s based on you , our aim is very clean , that earns money .
2. When you find the project has some problem , selling is the best way , but if the project still in promising , l think you should hold them .

[Dudeperfect]

Yes, it is definitely a word coined by another bitcointalk member. Even though it was a typo, on a broader level, it is like going against the traditional beliefs that is like being a rebel and supporting new innovations having the potential to optimise the traditional process of dealing with money. Similarly in Bitcoin are cryptocurrencies, anyone with a traditional mindset might not be able to cope up with it and hence hodl is going against the flow and taking the risk.

Hi HODL / FUD / LAMBO a whole new Crypto Lexicon

HODL- stands for HOLD. It is used by investors to hold on to their investment during tough times.
FUD- stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. It can happen in the market and completely crash it due to rumors spread across social media.
LAMBO- Lambo stands for Lamborghini.

hold coin until prices up  or to death haha 

[Jet Cash]

'hodl'is a more specific form of 'hold' it has come to mean 'keep your investment for the lng term, and ignore intermediate price gains and drops'.

[C0ld_Zero]

As I know, hold still a short term, you still can sell it if you feeling price is down . But HODL meaning you never sell for low price, HODL until to die
