Why, simply put, when blockchain technology, smartcontracts, and cryptography is the future of economics and government. You can tell the people around you in 5-10 years from now you took part in that. You can say I made some money, I took part in a community, I didn't sit on the side line and I had the ballz not to sell when I saw red on the chart. HODL is a great term. I'm not sure if some programmer in a tech code or a writer in a blog wrote hold like that but it stuck and I like it.
Meme's allday! But for real you will regret if you sell. The market as a whole went from 8 billion dollars in January to over 100 billion total today. We've seen some slight "corrections" but its all but speculative hype along the way. Total bull market trends hands down. If you're getting in now and expect to make the same amount of multiples as people did in the last 6 months get the hell out of here haha. However the reality is the technology works and the upside potencial is to the moon!
