HODL

HODL means holding your cryptocurrencies for the long term, without selling despite volatility.

Born from a typo of "hold" that became iconic, the term sums up a strategy: ignore price swings and hold, betting on long-term appreciation. It is the opposite of active short-term trading.

Example

Despite a 30% drop, a "HODL" investor keeps their bitcoins without panicking.
