I found this 2 year old story in Reddit about the origin of HODL and its meaning.
How you need to Hold On for Dear Life for the good of the then tiny Bitcoin community
How selling at $1100 was a bad idea 😄
We'll need remind ourselves when BTC hit $3000 again or when it hits $4000 or $5000
When you have doubt about the HODL strategy , remember this story
