What does "diamond hands" mean in finance slang?
The term "diamond hands" refers to holding onto an investment, typically stocks or cryptocurrencies, despite volatility, pressure, or losses. The structure is a metaphor where "diamond" represents extreme strength and durability, and "hands" represent holding assets. It is informal slang originating from online trading communities to describe investors who refuse to sell under pressure, often used in meme-driven financial discussions.
