Someone left holding a depreciated or worthless asset after the price has already collapsed, typically because they bought near the top or refused to sell on the way down.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He bought at the absolute top and refused to sell on the way down. Certified bagholder."
LORE & ORIGIN
A long-standing trading-slang term repurposed heavily by crypto and meme-stock culture, 'bagholder' became the default label for retail buyers who got left behind after insiders or early movers already exited.
