Hodl – A term derived from the misspelling of “hold,” originating in the cryptocurrency community. It’s used to encourage investors to hold onto their cryptocurrencies rather than selling them, especially during periods of market volatility.

The term gained popularity after a user on a Bitcoin forum misspelled “hold” in a post during a market downturn, and it has since become a widely used term in the cryptocurrency space. It’s often used as a mantra to promote the strategy of holding onto assets despite short-term fluctuations in value, with the belief that they will appreciate in the long run.

“I’m not selling my Bitcoin, I’m hodling for the long term.
