Being new to Bitcoin I learned how a misspelling of the word 'hold' turned into HODL -  a backronym or phrase standing for 'hold on for dear life' - - and this backronym is used often by a number of people.

So, my question is pretty simple. Is the recommendation to HODL Bitcoin, to hodl forever, or until the owner really, really needs (or really wants) currency for something important - with the intent to only sell a fraction of the BTC he has and continue hodling the remaining?  

Just how do you define your hodling recommendation? Is it really forever or does it have any exceptions?  

Well... it's really a very personal question. There's no "recipe" that is faithfully followed, since everyone adds their own flavor (needs). Therefore, sometimes it's an introspective question. Anyway, what is clear to me is that forever only exists if you lose your seeds.  Smiley
