Noooo clue what this is??? Fantastic

edit: my god, someone country-ised the hodl forum post??? Amazing. 😍

It's where the term HODL came from. Contrary to what many people say online nowadays, the person that came up with the term HODL did not mean "hold on for dear life" originally. It's simply a typo of the title of a post from December 18, 2013 by an OG bitcoiner on the Bitcoin Forum. I believe the bitcoin price crashed from over $1k USD in early December 2013 to about $500 USD in mid December 2013. OP was drunk and typed a post on the forum expressing that he will be holding and how he is not a trader. This post eventually turned into a legendary post and HOLD was thus born.

I am hodling is one of the best pieces of internet writing. It is truly a monument, a wonder, an achievement that makes things like Proust's description of madeleines look like some hack put it together. I'm working on a tribute (unworthy though it may be).
