What is Hodl?

A counter-response to the "hodl" meme of Bitcoin-mania fame, which calls on crypto-currency owners to hold fast until their digital booty reaches the moon, "hodl your godl" suggests that what should be "hodled", rather, is gold (and other precious metals, like silver) to hedge against the inevitable inflation ahead. This one's for you, Pete! Hodl your godl!

A: Did you catch the market today? Gold dropped 2% and is bouncing around $1880/ounce while Bitcoin at last surpassed the $18k mark and appears to be on its way back up to its historic highs.
B: Yeah, I saw that. But that's all just "for now." If you're smart, you'll sell your Bitcoin and hodl your godl!

What does "Hodl" mean?

Holding bitcoin/altcoins for long term profits instead of day trading and taking quick smaller profits.
Originally used as 'HODLING' in a drunk forum post on bitcointalk.org by a user.

"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)"

Hodl - meaning

Hodl stands for hold on for dear life. This is generally a reference when talking about cryptocurrencies. People will make this reference when they believe that the particular cryptocurrency will have a long term gain. People will also use the term hodling in past tense scenarios.

Jack: I plan to hodl this coin for atleast a year, I believe there will be a long term benefit from holding this.
Miguel: I agree, I have already been hodling for a year now.

Hodl

An "on purpose, kinda" misspelling of "hold" - first coined in the altcoin sphere in 2013 & later said to imply "Hold On for Dear Life". It reinforces the financial concept that you don't sell in a Bear Market. You ride it until the bitter end, or the price comes back up. (Hint: Crypto prices usually comes back up.)

First use reference: bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

When the trading prices keep dropping embarrassingly low, keep hodling! This isn't Penny Stocks - it will come back up eventually.
