What is "Hodl"? Is that the guy in Harry Potter?
Look at the other peculiar word 'spedn' and maybe you'll start to see a trend.

What is "Hodl"? Is that the guy in Harry Potter?
Where have you been?!? Tagged for obviously being a bought account. Just kidding.
Hodl = hold.
As long as the majority of people keep trading bitcoins, it's fine to hodl bitcoins. And the majority will most likely keep trading; plus, most people who are hodling don't have a large amount, anyways.

None of the things I want have been invented yet 
I sold some of my coins above 450$ and now started accumulating in small quantities from 300 range. So in this way I make more profits instead just holding on btc.
The fact is the volatility of bitcone keeps making some people get a great income on the buy and sell,last week bitcoin on 400 dollars who sold made a profit from the last months of this year,now they can rebuy more bitcoin with the same ammount they had sold.
Sorry OP, I don't really need anything right now and i'm not going to throw away my coins away. I prefer to throw fiat away and hold coins.
W.t.f. are you talking about? The more you hodl now, the higher the prize will go in the future. It is all the spending that is killing the coin.
As has been explained numerous times: holding and spending are not mutually exclusive.If everybody is sitting on their coins doing nothing with it, Bitcoin will go nowhere. It won't go anywhere near the moon if nobody uses it.
By spending bitcoins on actual products and services + buying back the same amount of bitcoins (on exchanges or wherever), you are essentially hodling (keeping the same amount of coins) AND helping the Bitcoin economy grow, AND adding to market demand on the exchange, all at the same time.
It's beyond me how the f*ck people can't see this
Not necessarily. If the advertising is right, people will see all the hodlers, and realize there must be value, and buy. Of course, they can't buy if the if nobody sells (spedns), right? So, the whole idea is not being said the right way. Hodlers don't mean that 100% of the people should hodl all the time.
Yes, yes, all of YOU spend your coins...I'll just sit here and browse the internet looking for something to buy, i have such trouble making these decisions...so much to consider...so much to buy....have you spent your bitcoins yet? I'm still waiting...
This is the new normal
Well OP advice turned out to be right. Value has gone down a lot, and would have been better to spend at the high point, taking advantage of that.
dinda22 probably means that they think bitcoin will stabilize at $305.
but this time I see bitcoin fairly stable at $305
What 
How can the ultra volatility of the past few days possibly be considered 'fairly stable'? 
Well, good point. Would you spend to increase the price of bitcoin, or hodl and make other people do it?
If everyone chooses to hodl, no one will spend, and the price wil inevitablly fall. I support the OP. Spend. Buy video games, gamble, maybe even buy a Bitcoin miner! Let's go!

Now remember. The people who don't own any Bitcoin, can hodl it. So, to hodl it, they gotta buy some.
Don't Hodl!!! Don't Spedn!!! Byu!!!
Nah, it doesn't work...
it would work if everyone was doing it, but it's not the case
simply sending it's also not good, it can only lead to a price dump, because merchants are not holders, they dump everything
Waiting BTC back $300 and hold some coins. 
Local exchanger in my country today BTC price has touched below $300 and I already buy, then I will hold up to $350. do not wait for the price is too high, which is important I already get profit
Some people here are expecting that the bitcoin Price will go again $350 levels at the same time some people of fear you don't fall towards $240 levels again. This must be a very crucial situation whether we need to hold or to sell or not to buy.
I believe bitcoin will rise again to $350, but I also fear bitcoin back to $250. but this time I see bitcoin fairly stable at $305. so I am quite confused, whether we will continue to go down or up in this month.

Okay, work for it and get some that way. Or get some free from a faucet. Then hodl, and maybe spedn.
I believe trying to control the Bitcoin economy by suggesting to HODL or not would not work toward anyones good. It's left to ones personal interest on whether they prefer to save it or spend it over a span of time. I usually prefer to spend very little cause I earn very little of it, and thus I intend to HODL the majority as a part of saving. Long term saving for Bitcoin can also turn out to be a good form of investment.
People who tell you to SPEDN are likely to be HODLING in disguise
Thats said Fci definitely got a point when saying that people could HODL bitcoins and SPEDN them at the same time just by rebuying bitcoins immediately after using them.
