HODLer is a long-term cryptocurrency investor who holds assets despite market fluctuations, derived from "hold" misspelling.

HODLer is an individual who commits to holding cryptocurrency investments for the long term, regardless of market volatility. The term originated from a typo of "hold" in a 2013 online forum post. It became a rallying cry for crypto enthusiasts advocating against panic selling. HODLers believe in the future potential of their investments and focus on long-term gains rather than short-term market movements. This strategy contrasts with active trading and emphasizes patience and perseverance. HODLing often aligns with the belief in the transformative nature of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies for future financial systems.
