HODL was born 10 years ago today from a spelling mistake by a user named "GameKyuubi" on BitcoinTalk. HODL is a term commonly used by cryptocurrency investors who refuse to sell their holdings regardless of price movements, and it is especially prevalent during bear markets. Later backronymed as "Hold On for Dear Life," it refers to holding through extreme market volatility and poor performance.
