Bitcoin HODL Hats

Bitcoin has a vocabulary the whole crypto internet reads at a glance, and its most famous word began as a misspelling. In December 2013, with bitcoin around $551, a BitcoinTalk user called GameKyuubi, who described himself as a bad trader, titled a post "I AM HODLING". HODL became a creed, and this collection wears it with the self-mockery holders save for themselves. The two badges, BITCOIN and HODL, are the words people type into a search box. Then the sentences take over. NUMBER GO UP and BITCOIN FIXES THIS come straight from the classic memes Jimmy Song catalogued in The Power of Bitcoin Memes, and STACKING SATS, set as an arch, is the stack-sats slogan that already sells on Bitcoin apparel everywhere. The funny ones are the holder's own losses. Bitcoin peaked at $69,000 on 10 November 2021, and buyers at that top were soon down about 70%, so DOWN 70% STILL HODLING is a real number, not a figure of speech. I BOUGHT THE TOP TWICE and I ZOOMED OUT IT GOT WORSE turn holder vocabulary into confessions, I'M IN IT FOR THE TECHNOLOGY is the line people say after a crash, and I EXPLAIN BITCOIN AT THANKSGIVING belongs to the family's resident believer. Bitcoin Magazine warns against merch that tells strangers how much you hold; none of these do. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, and NUMBER GO UP and BITCOIN FIXES THIS each get a second colorway.
