>For this reason, none of the investors I spoke with engage in short-term trading but instead choose, in the online parlance of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, to “hodl” (“hold on for dear life,” rather than sell off for temporary gains).

- jeppebemad 9y agoThat amused me too as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if "hodl" eventually turns into an abbreviation. In order for cryptos to "go mainstream", it will have to say goodbye to some of its attached memes.
