 Do you pronounce “hodl” with:

1) a long “O” as in “no”?
2) a short “O” as in “hot”?

 1 
 as in no because it comes from a misspelling of hold. 

ps if I say it to most people they have no clue wtf I'm saying 🤣 
 short "O" 
 I've only said it to myself in my head, but I use the short "O" 
 Hodl the door

unrelated but i just read a note where a nephrologist wrote to “hodl” a medication and it made me smile

 Like long o hodl-ay-hee-hoo? 
No, just no. 😂

 the ‘o’ is silent

 Real questions. Do NOSTR next

 2.  But I'm literate.  A long o (as in ō) would require an "e" as if hodel like "hotel".  Hod is is like bod, cod, God, mod, sod, nod, etc.

 Like "hold" but with the "l" and "d" swapped 
 Hodl rhymes with bottle
