This needs to be filled in:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hodl

Also, is it just me or is the forum more 502ey than usual right now?

SUBMITTED with OP explanation:

"I type d that tyitle twice because I knew it was wrong the first time.  Still wrong.  w/e.  GF's out at a lesbian bar, BTC crashing WHY AM I HOLDING? I'LL TELL YOU WHY.  It's because I'm a bad trader and I KNOW I'M A BAD TRADER.  Yeah you good traders can spot the highs and the lows pit pat piffy wing wong wang just like that and make a millino bucks sure no problem bro.  Likewise the weak hands are like OH NO IT'S GOING DOWN I'M GONNA SELL he he he and then they're like OH GOD MY ASSHOLE when the SMART traders who KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING buy back in but you know what?  I'm not part of that group.  When the traders buy back in I'm already part of the market capital so GUESS WHO YOU'RE CHEATING day traders NOT ME~!  Those taunt threads saying "OHH YOU SHOULD HAVE SOLD" YEAH NO SHIT.  NO SHIT I SHOULD HAVE SOLD.  I SHOULD HAVE SOLD MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY SELL AND BOUGHT MOMENTS BEFORE EVERY BUY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT NOT EVERYBODY IS AS COOL AS YOU.  You only sell in a bear market if you are a good day trader or an illusioned noob.  The people inbetween hold.  In a zero-sum game such as this, traders can only take your money if you sell.

so i've had some whiskey
actually on the bottle it's spelled whisky
w/e
sue me
(but only if it's payable in BTC)"

OK, so I'm thinking... another shot? Smiley

EDIT: Everyone here is learning, and no one has it easy. Certainly, it can be very stressful, but there's clearly a lot of money to be made. Most folks would probably suggest learning to trade with 1/20th or less of your capital at first, especially if you find it too stressful/difficult/a losing proposition. There's too much else I could say, so I'll just suggest that this is a good opportunity to learn, and in the next couple of years, you should be able to find a strategy that works for *you*, and make good money. You'll need to learn and be patient. I'm sure others could be more helpful than these few words-- but, you're not alone. Cheers, buddy. Smiley

Well taken -- tho OP's post is 1st on this EPIC thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0

Now Urban Dicktionary is refusing to publish HODL:
