#HODLTradingStrategy HODL, meaning Hold On for Dear Life, originated from a 2013 BitcoinTalk post and denotes a long-term crypto buy-and-hold approach ([investopedia.com][1]) ([bitpanda.com][2]). It urges investors to hold assets through volatility rather than trade on short-term price fluctuations, reducing costs and emotional stress ([binance.com][3]) ([academy.binance.com][4]). The strategy rests on belief in blockchain’s long-term growth potential, as seen in Bitcoin’s bull runs and growing institutional adoption ([bitpanda.com][2]) ([binance.com][3]). Effective HODL includes choosing fundamentally strong cryptocurrencies, diversifying portfolios, securing holdings in hardware wallets, and employing dollar‑cost averaging over time ([veles.finance][5]) ([wallstreetmojo.com][6]). While HODL can yield significant long-term gains, it demands patience and high risk tolerance, as assets may suffer steep declines ([wallstreetmojo.com][6]) ([wazirx.com][7]).
