Means Hold On for Dear Life, or if you want to see it this way a distorted way of saying HOLD. I'm sure you would have guessed by the way people use it, but it refers to a person holding onto his coins no matter what, believing they'll bring him profit eventually.

HODL is used for "hold" - it's a term that was invented by a psycho who did a typo and it became famous.
Whenever people talk here about holding their coins, they would rather say "hodl your bitcoins".

It's a reference to this thread. The point is that if you're not really good at trading, you shouldn't try to be because you'll end up making loads of big mistakes. |

HODL is a typo that happened mistyping hold. In the future days this will serve as a bitcoin word when a separate dictionary for cryptocurrency is generated. Few others were FUD, FOMO, etc

HODL is just hold, just another terminology in crypto and just a typo of hold. There are many more used in speculation like FOMO, FUD, etc. You often hear them when someone is speculating but I dont use hodl because I know it is a typo that became famous but even if that is the case I dont want to intentionally type hold as hodl. Its up to you if you will use it too or not but in my case I will not use it if possible.

It's a Spoonerism for "hold", originally used in this drunken rant's title: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0Or more recently, a backronym for "Hold On for Dear Life". |

It means "Hold on for Dear Life", in short it is a terminology used in the cryptoworld and means hold on to your coins instead of selling them.

FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out
HODL = Hold (To stay invested in bitcoin and not to capitulate in the face of plunging prices)
some more crypto slang...
ATH = All time high
BEAR = a trader who believes prices will fall
WHALE = a trader with a fat account, usually one who is bullish on the price of bitcoin
BAGHOLDER or BAGHODLER = An investor who has been hodling for too long, and is left to face the consequences
TO THE MOON = a cry for bitcoin’s price to rise sky-high
GOXED = Being fooled. Derived from the closure of the MtGox in June 2011
ADDY = Bitcoin or other crypto-currency public key (address)
(taken from misc sources over the net)
