The head of Bullish and former NYSE chairman recently revealed his true thoughts on Bitcoin. Despite the recent market corrections and volatility, this heavyweight remains firmly bullish on BTC's long-term prospects.
Interestingly, he shared his own “survival strategy”—simply putting away his phone and turning off the price charts on his computer. This “out of sight, out of mind” approach fits well with the mindset of a long-term believer. When short-term fluctuations cause anxiety, he simply chooses not to watch the market.
This attitude is particularly rare in today’s market environment. After all, there aren’t many traditional finance executives who can maintain their conviction during drawdowns and have the guts to speak out publicly. BTC and ETH holders might find some resonance in the composure of this Wall Street veteran.

Ha, really? Just turning off the candlestick chart can keep your mindset steady? I tried it and still couldn't sleep.
This guy is really tough, if it were me, I would've lost it already.
The key is still having confidence, he genuinely believes in it, he's not just holding on by force.
Honestly, I can't learn this trick, I feel uncomfortable if I don't check ten times a day.
This Wall Street approach isn't for regular people, we still need to keep an eye on things.
But to be fair, his mentality is really worth learning... it's just hard.

I need to learn this guy's method. I've been staring at the charts and watching candlesticks every day, but I still got chopped up by several waves.

Not checking the charts is really a great trick. It saves you from having your mindset explode every day. I’ve tried it a few times myself and it definitely feels much better.

Haha, this move is brilliant, closing the chart is a true winner's mentality.
---
I just want to ask, can you really resist checking the charts? Easier said than done.
---
This guy's courage is worth learning from; there aren't many traditional finance big shots who openly go long.
---
Out of sight, out of mind—easier said than done, I have to check the candlestick chart every 5 minutes.
---
Long-termism sounds simple, but sticking to it is the hard part.
---
Why does it feel like this approach is just the freedom of the rich? We still have to watch the charts to make a living.
---
No phone, no trend charts—I can't learn to operate like this.

Seriously, not watching the charts might be the real secret to making money... Every time I stare at the screen, I just want to cut my losses.
The key is having that kind of self-control, but us retail investors just can't manage it.
This guy is right, short-term fluctuations are just there to harvest retail investors.
Not watching, not watching— the more I look, the more I lose. That's so damn true.
Holding long-term sounds easy, but very few people can actually do it... Salute.
Wall Street folks are playing psychological games; we're just too inexperienced.
Honestly, it comes down to faith—without it, we'd have run ages ago.
This is how the pros play; we're all just amateurs.
Out of sight, out of mind. I'm going to try turning off the candlestick chart now.
Chart-watching anxiety is real; when I stopped, my sleep quality actually improved.

Ha, I know this trick all too well—just not watching the charts, right? I used to do the same, ended up missing a rebound, then sold at the bottom. Now I force myself to check my wallet address three times a day, scared of missing out on any airdrop eligibility again, haha.
True long-termists are just like that, but for us airdrop hunters, it doesn’t work. We have to keep an eye on contract interaction opportunities at all times. If you slack off, you’ll get rekt by those airdrop projects.
I respect this guy’s mentality, but I still have to tough it out.
I just can’t stay that calm—I even have to calculate gas fees carefully.
Only the pros can be so chill, us regular players still have to grind every day.
Looks like the Wall Street approach really is more patient than our crypto trading, but in the end, it’s the ones who stick with it that make money.
Sigh, this “not watching the charts” thing—easier said than done.
That’s the difference in mindset, I guess. They’re in it for long-term allocation, we’re chasing opportunities every day.
