Definitions

Your holdings of a particular token, coin, or NFT. 'Heavy bags' means you hold a lot. A 'bag holder' is someone stuck with a token that's tanked — left holding the bag while smarter money exited. 'Fat bags' is the opposite, a position that's printed. The word does most of the emotional lifting in any crypto conversation about who owns what.

bags In A Sentence

My SOL bags finally recovered after eighteen months underwater.

Origin & Usage

From the older finance term 'bagholder' (someone left holding worthless securities), which itself traces back to 1800s con-game slang. Crypto Twitter shortened and softened it into 'bags' as a neutral noun for any holding.
