Definition
Diamond hands means holding your position no matter what the chart or timeline is doing. It gets celebrated as conviction and it works — on projects that survive. On projects that don't, diamond hands is the same thing as bag-holding a zero.
The useful version is conviction with a framework: sized so you can lose it, thesis you can articulate, and a specific condition (broken tokenomics, team exit, contract exploit) that makes you sell. Everything else is cosplay.
Examples
- “
Diamond-handed through the 80% drawdown, got back to even.
- “
Diamond hands on a rug is just slow acceptance.
- “
Not selling because 'we WAGMI' is not a thesis.
