ON THIS DAY IN 2013: The term "HODLING" was born on Bitcoin Talk

Seems like a fitting time to re-up this legendary post, given there are clearly a lot of of lettuce-handed tourists out there...

Here is the original post:

I AM HODLING

I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I'm not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

so i've had some whiskey

actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky

w/e

sue me

(but only if it's payable in BTC)

P.S. it's pronounced "HODL" **not** "hoddle"

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I like this, the debate trading vs holding (obviously holding is better) is cool

I donโ€™t even know what sell means

Flash shared the screenshot this morning.

I had no idea what it meant.

A typo, feels like the kind of thing that would become a meme on Nostr

On this day the FIAT price had dropped from $1000 to $670.

It would continue down to $200 and then up to $126000.

Legend.

I donโ€™t care how anyone pronounces it (sorry Walker but โ€œhoddleโ€ is habitual by now). But anyone who claims itโ€™s an acronym needs to be excommunicated or at least berated without mercy.

i ,too, respect folx who pronounce it "hoddle" to affirm their identity.

100% agreed on the acronym...

Lesbian Bars

Wait the people in the middle hodl? Did he just call us mid-curvers? ๐Ÿ‘€

Just learnt something today

I just want to publicly state that me pronouncing "HODL" correctly is NOT an attack on nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4jsqgq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0a92jnwavqe9rgjwwdw3wjgxfuxsz8rd5mths8c 's identity.

I respect "American Hoddle" and he has a right to self-identify however he chooses.

My favorite part

It's a work of art.

I hope things are going well with his girlfriend.

This level of wisdom in 2013 after a bunch of whisky (whiskey, w/e sue me) when DCA, stack sats and hodl werenโ€™t common knowledge/memes never ceases to amaze me.. cheers wherever you are, bro ๐Ÿฅƒ I hope life is treating you (and your girlfriend) well!

Moral of the story let your gf go to lesbian bars more often

I knew the story but have never read the actual rant before. ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Clearly, no alcohol was involved, AT ALL.

i wish he was still hodling:(
