Bagholder
Someone still holding a coin or token after its value has dropped badly, often hoping it will recover.
PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION
In more detail
In crypto chat, a bag is a holding, and a bagholder is the person left carrying it after the excitement fades. The label often implies buying the hype and missing an exit, but it can also be self-deprecating. It isn't a separate account type or a precise measure of losses.

How you might use it
