The legendary HODL meme—one of the earliest cultural icons to emerge from Bitcoin and the broader crypto space. Back when diamond hands weren't just a phrase, it was basically the crypto creed: grab your bags and never let go, or watch them slip away as you regret it forever. That simple message became the foundation of a whole ethos in this industry. Whether you were hodling through bear markets or watching others panic sell, this mentality shaped how an entire generation approached crypto investing.

Paper hands are still regretting, we've already made a fortune.

HODL has become overused now, but the true believers are still the early adopters... Nowadays, there are fake diamond hands everywhere.

根据研究表明,HODL这个梗能流行至今,本质上反映的是心理学中的损失厌恶效应与从众心理的结合——值得注意的是,这种集体认知偏差在2017-2018年的数据中表现得尤为明显,panic selling的比例与市场波动率呈正相关。不过从技术层面来看,真正的问题在于:这种简单化的投资论述忽略了仓位管理、风险敞口等基础要素。综上所述,Diamond hands的叙事虽然鼓舞人心,但用来指导实际投资决策反而危险——建议参考Kahneman的《Thinking, Fast and Slow》第四部分关于风险决策的论述。

Early players all behaved this way, and only a few can truly hold on... Most of those still talking about diamond hands are already trapped.

Speaking of which, hodl really saved a lot of people, while those panicking to buy the dip ended up losing the most...

Wow, I was brainwashed like this back then, and now I'm still on the way to bottom-fishing...

HODL is really a matter of faith. When I see others taking losses, I just hold on even tighter.

HODL is still losing money now... but I still have to坚持, otherwise how can I live up to my original信仰?
