Yeah, I've mentioned a few of those famous stories in one of my older blog posts.

Some are pretty interesting to read about, also the term 'HODL' was created on that forum.

This was the first of your work I had looked at so thanks for the link and I will check it out, if memory serves me correct I think "HODL" stands for "holding on for dear life" and not just "hold" misspelled or spelled in a foreign language spelling.

The backronym (holding on for dear life) came later actually, that post on Bitcointalk was actually the first case of the term being used. And it was a spelling mistake :)
This wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong, just the first that I have admitted it, I stand corrected.
