RE: Tales from Bitcointalk Forum - Lending in The Early Days of Bitcoin #1

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.
