HODL is a term derived from a misspelling of "hold," in the context of buying and holding Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. It's also commonly come to stand for "hold on for dear life" among crypto investors.

The term originated from a 2013 online post to the Bitcointalk forum where the typo appeared. The price of Bitcoin in 2013 was volatile at the time, surging to over $950 at the beginning of December, 2013, up from just over $130 in April of the same year.12

The poster encouraged people not to sell and that they were "hodling"

• FAST FACT####

• The prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are notoriously volatile, but HODLers disregard even large price swings. They simply HODL.

• FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt): Misinformation, negative headlines, and dire predictions about crypto, which should be ignored by true adherents.

• FOMO (fear of missing out): People jumping onto bandwagon trades or buying into bubbles rather than regretting missing the next big thing

• Diamond Hands 💎🤲: Exhibiting extreme fortitude in HODLing, even as markets crash

• Hold the line: A battle cry to encourage others to stand firm with diamond hands in the face of volatility.

• Paper hands 🧻🤲: This is a derogatory slur leveled against those who fail to maintain diamond hands. These are perceived as weak individuals without conviction who sell their crypto too quickly.

• Mooning 🚀🌙: The idea that a stock will rise extraordinarily high, as if to the moon.

• Apes 🦍: Members of the crypto or NFT community. Some have attributed this to a meme related to the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but others have suggested that the label comes from the banding together of “dumb apes” to take on the Wall Street elite.

• BTFD (buy the f***ing dip): Buying the dips means going long on a stock after its price has declined in the near term and is meant to be repeated after each such drawdown.

• YOLO (you only live once): As in, why not buy into a crypto token or NTF?
