Hodl your godl!

A counter-response to the "hodl" meme of Bitcoin-mania fame, which calls on crypto-currency owners to hold fast until their digital booty reaches the moon, "hodl your godl" suggests that what should be "hodled", rather, is gold (and other precious metals, like silver) to hedge against the inevitable inflation ahead. This one's for you, Pete! Hodl your godl!

A: Did you catch the market today? Gold dropped 2% and is bouncing around $1880/ounce while Bitcoin at last surpassed the $18k mark and appears to be on its way back up to its historic highs.
B: Yeah, I saw that. But that's all just "for now." If you're smart, you'll sell your Bitcoin and hodl your godl!

Hodl your godl!

"Hodl your godl!" is a counter-response to the call by proponents of digital currencies to "hodl" -- a typo of "hold" that has reached viral meme status worldwide -- onto Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. Mirroring the "h-o-l-d" to "h-o-d-l" pattern of the original fat-fingering, "g-o-d-l" likewise follows the same rearranging of the letters of the word "gold". "Hodl your godl!" is therefore a call to hold onto gold with the expectation that gold (and other precious metals such as silver) will hedge against the inevitable inflation ahead.
This one's for you, Pete! "Hodl your godl!"

A: Hey, did you check the market today? Gold is down 2% bouncing around $1880 an ounce, and Bitcoin is nearing historic highs again! It just hit $17,600!"
B: Yeah, I saw. But that's all just for now. If you're smart, you'll hodl your godl!
