Full Definition:

Diamond hands (often expressed in the emojis “??”) is a slang term from the investing world for investors who refrain from selling investments and hold long term, even in the face of losses and downturns.

The term is thought to have originated on the Reddit forum /r/WallStreetBets.

The term is the opposite of paper hands, which are investors who sell early or at the first sign of trouble.

The term is used within the VeVe community to refer to collectors who hold collectibles long term and don’t sell.
