As stated by the creator of the most famous meme coin on the market, the origins of the HODL meme are going back to the Bitcointalk forum, which was a shelter for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin enthusiasts back when crypto was not hitting the levels of adoption we see today.
The user with the name “GameKyuubi” shared a long read describing his relationship with cryptocurrency assets and why he is choosing not to hold it instead of actively trading. According to Markus, the user who wrote the post was drunk at the time of the writing and misspelled the word “hold” in the “I am holding” title.
The “hodling” meme then rebirthed into a fully developed investment strategy in the cryptocurrency market.

What is hodling in cryptocurrency trading?
The name of the strategy speaks for itself: traders who choose hodling are not trying to catch local bottoms or tops and are not trading in a rangebound. The only operation traders following the hodling strategy are implementing is buying.
As for the functionality of the strategy, if the original poster would have bought %100 worth of BTC in 2013 and held his coins until now, Kyuubi would have been up to more than $20,000 and almost $50,000 at the last ATH.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $29,314 and yet is failing to recover back above the psychological price of $30,000.
