Hodl (/ˈhɒdəl/ HOD-əl; often written HODL) is slang in the cryptocurrency community for holding the cryptocurrency rather than selling it.^[1] 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."^[2] 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."^[3] TheStreet.com referred to it as the "favorite mantra" of Bitcoin holders.^[4] Though originally used in relation to holding Bitcoin, it is now also used to describe holding other cryptocurrencies and tokens such as Ethereum.

Throughout the time the term HODL has become so widespread that the community has even created “The HODLer Manifesto”. It is presented on GitHub and provides eight rules every true HODLer must follow; rules likes a true HODLer doesn't sell their coin and keeps them off exchanges and online wallets.
