HODL was a typo. It became a philosophy. That says everything about this community.Satoshi Nakamoto (not really)
One drunk forum post in 2013 became the defining investment strategy of a trillion-dollar asset class. You can't make this up.
On December 18, 2013, a Bitcointalk forum user named GameKyuubi posted a drunken rant titled "I AM HODLING" (a typo of "holding"). The post, written during a market crash, argued that the best strategy was simply to hold rather than try to trade. The typo went viral and "HODL" became the defining mantra of Bitcoin culture — a rallying cry for long-term holders who refuse to sell regardless of price action.
