Hodl is more than just a word; it represents a mindset within the digital assets market. According to a U.S. senator reporting to the U.S. Senate, Hodl stands for Hold On For Dear Life. Although the origin of the word does not exactly match this definition, it describes the mindset perfectly.
Hodl stands for holding on to your investments for a long time so that there is a better chance of generating a good return, as well as not trying to outperform the market or engage in panicky day trading. The origin of the word Hodl comes from hold, which is holding on to your investments. On December 18, 2013, the word Hodl came into existence. Here you can read the exact message that started this whole trend.
I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time. Still wrong. w/e. GF’s out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I’LL TELL YOU WHY. It’s because I’m a bad trader and I KNOW I’M A BAD TRADER. Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro. Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT’S GOING DOWN I’M GONNA SELL he he he and then they’re like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY’RE DOING buy back in but you know what? I’m not part of that group. When the traders buy back in I’m already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU’RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~! Those taunt threads saying “OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD” YEAH NO SHIT. NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD. I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU. You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob. The people inbetween hold. In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.
so i’ve had some whiskey
actually on the bottle it’s spelled whisky
w/e
sue me
(but only if it’s payable in BTC)
The Hodl mentality quickly became a strategic method of investing in digital assets. Since the market is highly volatile but shows an upward trend over the long term, hodling assets was considered more reliable than trying to time the market. Hodl is similar to the “buy and hold” strategy used by investors in the stock market.
Now that you know how the term “Hodl” came about and how the Hodl strategy works, we can explain why we chose this name for our company. As long-term investors, we wanted to choose a name that both reflects the digital assets mentality and conveys the message that we are investing for the long term. This message formed the basis for our first investment strategy, Actively Managed: a diversified portfolio with long-term investments.
While this strategy is appropriate for most investors, each investor has different goals and risk appetite. To offer as many investors exposure to the emerging market as possible, we have introduced two additional strategies over the years: Algorithmic Trading and Venture Capital. Algorithmic Trading focuses on accumulating assets through high-frequency trading, while Venture Capital invests in early-stage tokens to get in on the new “Uber” of the market as early as possible.
