Even in his final stretch as Berkshire Hathaway's leader, Buffett remained committed to his signature investment philosophy—scanning the horizon for those rare, transformative opportunities he famously called 'elephants.' The legendary investor never stopped hunting for that one massive deal that could move the needle for the conglomerate, demonstrating that true investors maintain their hunger and discipline regardless of circumstance.

Hunting elephants never stops, that's the true level of mastery.

Old Ba's obsession is really unmatched... Still hunting elephants right before retirement, this is what a top investor should look like.

Old Ba's mindset really leaves nothing to be said. He's almost out of the game but still looking for that big elephant—that's true professionalism... Speaking of which, real investors are like this; no matter how wealthy, they can't sit still.

Haha, Buffett, what big elephant are you still looking for? At this age, you're still so determined.

Staring at the gas tracker late at night again, watching Buffett's philosophy. I feel like it's just a different take on the "money-saving obsession"... Finding opportunities like elephants, how much time and effort does that take? It's just as crazy as me staying up late to save a few gwei, waiting stubbornly for a dip.

Buffett's "Elephant Theory" sounds appealing, but look at Berkshire Hathaway's current holdings... Cash reserves are at an all-time high, yet there's no movement. Is this discipline or waiting for some black swan? Large on-chain investors have already started to withdraw, and data doesn't lie.

Old Ba's mindset is really incredible. He's almost ready to exit the market but still chasing those elephant-sized opportunities. This is what a true investor looks like... Only persistent greed can lead to big gains; others have long since given up.
