Having led Berkshire Hathaway for 60 years, Warren Buffett officially steps down as CEO. No scandals, no crashes. Only through patience, self-discipline, and that nearly extinct long-term belief has he completely transformed an era.
This is not just a retirement of an individual. It is also the curtain call for a generation of investment philosophy. In today's fast-changing world, where short-term gains are pursued, adhering to the concept of long-term value investing has become a luxury. Buffett has proven through 60 years of practice: true wealth is not about quick arbitrage in market fluctuations, but about patiently accumulating through the power of compound interest over time.
He did not change his principles due to market frenzy, nor did he abandon his beliefs because of others' noise. This steadfastness is especially precious in any market cycle. An investment legend has come to an end, but the way of thinking he left behind will continue to influence the decision-makers of the next generation.

To be honest, this long-termism rhetoric sounds pretty good, but who can really stick to it for 60 years now?

Warren Buffett has passed away... To be honest, I feel a bit complicated upon hearing this news. 60 years... I've only lived this long and never been as steadfast as he was...
Long-termism? Come on, I last held a long-term position for three days before I ape in, and I'm still in a loss now haha...
But it’s truly remarkable—retiring completely without scandals or a collapse. This is something you wouldn’t even dare to imagine in the crypto world; I would have been liquidated or run away long ago...

It should be pointed out that Buffett's 60-year long-termism has long been disproven in the era of on-chain data. Now we have Bitcoin, a truly decentralized store of value, so what more do we need from Berkshire Hathaway?

60 years, truly incredible. Our generation is still chasing trends and speculating short-term, while they've already mastered the power of compound interest. The gap...

60 years... I'm really tired of those two-year get-rich-quick fantasy stories. Old-timers like Buffett have become the exception.
The end of an era.
