HODL
Holding onto your crypto instead of selling when the market gets noisy.
In more detail
HODL started with a misspelled BitcoinTalk post in December 2013 and became a rallying cry for holders. In a chat, it usually means sticking with a position rather than trying to trade every move. Sometimes it's conviction; sometimes it's a joke about refusing to look at the chart.
How you might use it
I stopped checking the chart every five minutes. I'm just HODLing my BTC.
