 Do you pronounce “hodl” with:

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

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 
 wrong, proceed straight to nostr jail 
 Hodl rhymes with bottle

 Depends how wasted I am. Feeling like a 2, about to be a 1.

 Hawdle

 3) Yes.

 2, just like with Nostr. 
 Long "O" in most uses, though not strictly. The origin of the word was used in someone shouting "HODL!" in a reddit post if memory serves -- given what that would sound like out loud, short "O" just doesn't seem to match original intent. 
 Hoedl? 
 2, but why does saylor say 1?
