Among Bitcoiners, "hodl" has evolved into a mantra of sorts, representing ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป'๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐น. Over the years, it has become a cultural touchstone that unites Bitcoiners under a shared philosophy, highlighting a fundamental difference between Bitcoin enthusiasts and short-term speculators.
