From the "Just for Fun Department"...a couple of years ago I wrote "The Hodl Song."

AKA: The Hodl Hodl Yodel Song

In 2021 I watched the movie Fisherman's Friends and thought it was fantastic. It was based on a true story which is awesome too.

But, the music! The group (in the movie and in real life) sing traditional sea shanties. These were songs sung by sailors and fisherman as they did repetitive labor like hauling nets and pulling lanyards and fighting the weather. The shanties (or chants) kept the group in rhythm as they worked. Shanties are much like the gang songs of men on land driving steel spikes while building railroad tracks. It's hard to pick a favorite shanty song, but "Keep Haulin'" might be mine. It's on the front page of their site.

Sometimes, it's worth doing something for the sheer silliness and fun of it. So, I made this. No judging the musical, ahem, "abilities" or "singing"! Just imagine that you're in a pub with your best crypto buddies, and go with it. :)

This is The Hodl Song. AKA, The Hodl Hodl Yodel Song...a crypto shanty.

Lyrics:

This here game ain't for the weak
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.
Try to buy the low, try to sell the peak
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.

When things go south you must be bold
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.
Keep your coin and beer in the cooler cold
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.

hodl the throttle
and hodel the yodel
hodl hodl hodl hodel-lay-tee-oh

When fomo hits, you must hold fast
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.
or you will certainly will lose your assets
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.
out of sight place your bags of coin
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.
a hodl and a hodel, and the whales you'll join
I hodl and I hodel all the long day long.

Hodl the throttle
and hodel the yodel
hodl hodl hodl hodel-lay-tee-oh.
Hey!

Nice job! I love sea shanties and bitcoin. BTC Minstrel made a playlist of his B-T-Sea Shanties here

I made a bitcoin sea shanty too

Your song is awesome btw! Just one criticism:

Try to buy the low, try to sell the peak

This seems like bad advice. Most people who try day trading lose their money. If I ever sing this I'll change that line to this:

Try to stack sats on a daily streak

Other than that, great job!

Just listened to them all..terrific, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for not picking on my lack of musical skill and singing ability!

I can't disagree with your advice on stacking rather than selling. Your lyric is much more in line with Bitcoinism. Trying to buy and sell the lows and highs is a losing proposition from the start. A while back, I made the gifs below to illustrate.

Don't have time right now, but I look forward to checking out your link and your song.
