HODL basically means Holding cryptocurrency. HODL was a typo by a bitcoin member. He meant HOLD but typed wrong. But somehow, it became famous.
So basically, “HODL” was originally a typo which has now popularly earned the status of a humorous backronym:
“HODL” – “Hold on for dear life”
Internet is strange but cool.
Topic: What do you mean by HODL? - page 11. (Read 1057 times)
Can anyone clarify what this term means? I was wondering if it should really be spelt as "HOLD" or the meaning of "HODL" is really crypto-related. I already tried searching threads that explain this but was unsuccessful. I was very curious since I began reading discussions in bitcointalk and I usually see this term but I just understand it to mean 'hold' which means don't sell yet your coins. Please correct my misunderstanding if any. Thanks for your time.
while between this between HODL and HOLD actually have the same meaning, where HODL defines as an investor who has some funds or investment in crypctocurrency by keeping or investing their funds with a certain period according to the target they specify.
Now for example you have an ETH ballance in your wallet, then in a certain period it turns out that eth is decreasing and you judge it to be better retained first, well that means you HODL in ETH.
hold and hodl are the same, for me hold is the way to avoid losing my money especially when the market continue to down. to hold coin is not simple because I should to control my self and keep optimistic that my coin will increase again and someday I will sell in the highest price.

HOLD and HODL are referring the same term holding which means holding the crypto until selling it,But whenever there is a price fall in the crypto currency prices you can see the word HODL more because which is term that means you need to hold with love and trust.So from this you need to remember the word hodl while the prices are falling.
In chat rooms, on forums, on Twitter, groups of Telegrams and other channels people write with an error: instead of "HOLD" they write "HODL". This error has become very popular in the world of bitcoins and cryptocurrency. Whenever a person says that he "hodling", it means that he thinks the coin will be profitable later, if not today.
So, "HODL" was originally a typo.

I had the same thought when I was still new to the world of crypto with all these terms such as HODL Until I read a thread explaining how the HODL cam about.
Yes, it's probably just a typo, man imell mean hold, ie not to sell less to be patient and wait for better times.
HODL is the technical term used in crypto world, which generally means holding the coins, due to high demand for the crypto coins there are more chances for the prices to increase which if you hold them for longer time, it will help the crypto holder to gain huge profits from their holdings. As every year the price of all the cryptos keeps on increasing and every day new users are entering the crypto world which makes the cryptos more demanding causing the cryptos prices to shoot up.
HODL is different for different people.
For me it is HODL + TP. That is HODL and take profit regularly. Only hodling won't make you rich nor it is a good strategy for profit making. Think honestly, without taking profit at regular intervals what is the real use of HODL? You are only rich virtually not in the real life until you book profits.

Hold on dea life which means literally HOLDING your coins if you are trapped into some coin whenever the market has gone into bloodbath,holding your coisn will be much effective if you are holding only those solid coins that is why we are holding those coins which arent going to crash very hard with these bloodbaths,because surely these coins will recover faster than any shitcoin out there.

At my mean it will not "hold to die", i hold for my life, i will be sell at price i plan to sell before. You need to sure plan and will be do when it hit the target. Because the cupid will kill you
It came from this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-am-hodling-375643
I think it means "Hold On for Dear Life".. and I like to say that "you will never HODL alone"
Exactly it is,HODLING will be more effective when you are holding the right coins ,especially those coins that are best in long term investments.If you are holding shitcoins,regardless of years of holding it wont make any difference so HOLD those coins which are good in long term hold! short term coins doesnt shouldnt be hold for long term. I think it means "Hold On for Dear Life".. and I like to say that "you will never HODL alone"
Perhaps this is a typo or an attempt to create a novelty in the jargon of users of cryptocurrencies. I have no doubt in my mind. This is a strategy of holding coins for a long period in order to profit from price increases. This is a favorite strategy of the majority. Therefore, speculators are constantly hunting for these coins.
A short term hold can never be a hodl. A true hodl is derived out of belief in a particular crypto with a dash of sentiment. A hodl can however be forced ie: Bag holders, as you can still dump at a loss.
It seems to me that someone said this as a joke and many people liked it. I see that many people use this word. Previously it seemed to me that this was just a mistake.
HODL is also known as holding, it's just a term (form of register on the bitcointalk forum) mostly used on the forum.
Holding basically means keeping your coins for future, not to dump! to sell at a good price.

HODL mean HOLD and it is a common word that used for a long time in crypto. And we are all hodling at the moment.
HODL in crypto simply means holding the coin for sometime before you sell.
This is the best strategy ever - if you know you right - stay on yours. If you are sure that crypto will change the world and will increase in price dramatically - hold it and do not let anyone make you sell. 
Hodl is more attractive and interesting compare to Hold! Making words that make people to be excited and the same time create or send a powerful message across is considered to be creative and effective.
