Show HN: A site to help Bitcoin hodlers make sense of the new forked coins (forkdrop.io)
3 points by forkdrop on March 2, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments


Everybody holding BTC over the past few months has probably heard about the projects that fork the chain to give everyone 'free money'. However, all these projects are confusing among other things, so a lot of people have put off getting up to speed on the topic. We created a directory that makes it easier to check up on the current state of affairs. We put together a table presentation and maintain dataset see which new coins are most relevant and have the markers of some legitimacy and value by also tracking the exchanges they trade on and some of the technical specifics of individual projects.

What is a bitcoin “hodler”?

Seriously, what is it?


A "Bitcoin hodler" is a Bitcoin holder, just intentionally misspelled for reasons of style and social signaling, such as 'teh' rather than 'the' and 'pwned' rather than 'owned'. It is something that people take pride in identifying as because they have a long-term investment thesis. When the price crashes, this identity gives them strength.
