HODL definition 1

A famous crypto slang for 'hold' (stemming from a typo). It means to keep your coins rather than sell, regardless of market swings – Hold On for Dear Life. Africans in crypto groups say 'I'm HODLing' to indicate they won't sell despite volatility.

"Bitcoin ilishuka kidogo lakini HODL tu – long term itanipa faida. (Swahili-English: Bitcoin dipped a bit but just HODL – in the long run it will give me profit.)"
