The first HODL
Dec 18, 2013. BTC is crashing hard from $1100 to $550. A hammered user named GameKyuubi logs onto BitcoinTalk to vent. He tries to type "I AM HOLDING" but fumbles the keyboard. "I AM HODLING" is born. He admits he’s a terrible trader who can't time the market, so he's just gonna sit on his stack. Fast forward a few hours, the typo goes viral. The absolute degen accidentally birthed the most iconic meme and investment strategy in crypto history. Zero coping, pure lore.
