that's early enough and it's just too good as a one-word heads up, I'm afraid aesthetic considerations are going to have to trump in this case

i suppose i'll just be confused for awhile and then one day it will all become clear (as long as i don't fuck up the timeline too much)

the problem is that nobody knows for how long they should hold; but we could tell 20yo self "bitcoin 48k" or so

if your 20 year old self received a cryptic "HODL48K" do you think they'd successfully buy btc and hold till 2021 then sell?

wow I'm really enjoying this thought experiment. You're older than me so to make it slightly more comparable I have to make it so I'm like 12. I think I'd spend like 5 years in confusion then just convince myself of some ridiculous acronym to get some damn closure

although if I convince myself it's some weird species of coral and become a scuba instructor or something I guess it's not that dangerous because by the time the HODL phrase finally comes along it'd all be clear. Okay yeah I think young Nick would succeed

scuba instructor becomes billionaire, takes out debt to buy mountain of bitcoin at 10c and sells at peak of 48k, world watches in confusion and shock

scuba instructor revealed to be satoshi nakamoto
it all makes sense now. this is why satoshi's never moved his coins. someone told him to HODL and he's HODLing
...until...?
