SegWit becomes the plan for more capacity
As the Scaling Bitcoin workshop in Hong Kong ended, Gregory Maxwell set out his plan for raising Bitcoin's capacity on the developers' mailing list. He backed Segregated Witness, which Pieter Wuille had presented there as a soft fork that handles signatures separately and so "takes them outside the scope of the current blocksize limit".

The "HODL" post, 2013
2 years ago. A bitcointalk user called GameKyuubi posted "I AM HODLING" during a sharp price fall, misspelling "holding". "HODL" became slang for keeping bitcoin rather than selling it.
