Thanks for this.
There are a lot of people in the cryptocurrency community who see cyrptocurrency terms and slangs and have no idea what it means. I've personally have people ask me about certain terms and words which they came across but didn't know what it meant and I always take out time to educate and answer whatever questions they might have.

I think that HODL - is not "trading", it is "investing". And by HODL you will win in most of your investments. If you are going to make money through trading, you have to be ready for trading during several days. And from this side the main problem is sell your asset in time. I think "don't sell in time" is main mistake in trading.

I still read it as "hold" or "holding" but i always write it as "hodl" or "hodling".
That thread was epic and will remain in the hall of fame of btc history.
