HODL is a legendary term that originated from a typo in a Bitcoin forum. HODL means to hold your cryptocurrencies through good and bad times, resisting the temptation to sell during market dips – or even during highs.

It is both a mindset and a strategy, rooted in the belief that the long-term trajectory of cryptocurrencies is upward, even if short-term movements are volatile.

A good HODL portfolio is not necessarily composed only of $BTC and $ETH – it can include any promising projects you have researched thoroughly. Diversification helps to reduce risk and exposure to the volatility of any asset.
