Who said HODL for the first time?
December 18, 2013
This is how Hodl started, in a Bitcointalk forum post, by user GameKyuubi, he said why he was still "hodling" (unsold) in his post, "I AM HODLING", he already knew there was a misspelling, but decided that hodling was the best definition.
Since then, HODL has been used countless times to comment that in a price drop, don't sell, hold Hodl, or that the least risky way to own Bitcoin is with Hodl.After that typo in the Bitcointalk forum post in 2013, the word became a cultural pillar. More than a simple misspelling, HODL represents the conviction that the value of Bitcoin will increase over time, regardless of daily volatility. Therefore, when facing a price drop ("dip"), the only valid strategy is not to sell and to hold the position.
