Hodl (/ˈhɒdəl/ HOD-əl; often written HODL) is a slang term and Internet meme that is used in the Bitcoin community when referring to holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it.[1][2][3] It originated in a December 2013 post on the Bitcoin Forum message board by an apparently inebriated user who posted with a typo in the subject, "I AM HODLING."[4][5][6] In 2017, Quartz listed it as one of the essential slang terms in Bitcoin culture, and described it as a stance, "to stay invested in bitcoin and not to capitulate in the face of plunging prices."[7] TheStreet.com referred to it as the "favorite mantra" of Bitcoin holders.[8]
Since entering the Bitcoin vernacular and that of other cryptocurrencies, HODL has become a backronym for "hold on for dear life".[9][10]
