We all say HODL — but do we really know how it began?
Back in 2013, Bitcoin plunged 38% in a single day. 📉
Frustrated (and a little drunk 🥃), a Bitcoiner named GameKyuubi posted:
“I AM HODLING.”
It was a typo — but it struck a chord.
Within hours, HODL became more than a misspelling — it became a mindset:
Don’t panic. Stay the course. Trust your conviction. ⚡
Over time, the community gave it meaning: “Hold On for Dear Life.”
Instead of chasing every pump or dip, HODLers focused on long-term belief in Bitcoin’s value.
And here’s the proof — today, nearly half of all Bitcoin hasn’t moved in over two years.
The conviction is real.
The diamond hands never left. 💎
