<p>Warren Buffett Says He'd Be ‘Very Happy' To Have This One Word On His Tombstone Describing Him – And It's Not Related To Family Or Investing</p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42558080/warren-buffett-says-the-poorest-2-of-earners-live-better-than-john-d-rockefeller-richest-man-in-the-world-people-have-more-money-now">Warren Buffett</a>, the legendary investor and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, isn't just about stocks and dollar signs. In fact, if you asked him how he'd like to be remembered, his answer might surprise you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to a 2017 CNBC article, Buffett said in a Forbes 100th anniversary magazine issue he'd be "very happy" if just one word appeared on his tombstone: Teacher. That's it. Not "Billionaire," not "Investor," not even "Philanthropist." Just Teacher.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"><strong> The percentage may shock you</strong></a>.</strong></li>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a></strong><strong> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>This sentiment gets to the heart of who Buffett really is. Sure, he's built one of the largest fortunes in history, but he's spent just as much time sharing what he knows with others. Whether he's writing his iconic shareholder letters, giving candid interviews or mentoring young investors, Buffett's always been more about giving wisdom than hoarding secrets.</p>
<p>According to the article, Buffett credits much of his success to the people who taught him – and it's a pretty remarkable list.&nbsp;</p>
<p>His father, Howard H. Buffett, wasn't just the one who introduced him to investing – he was also the source of some of the best advice Buffett ever received: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and 20 minutes to lose it. If you remember that, you'll do things differently." Howard's influence ran deep in Buffett's life. In fact, Buffett credits him with being the reason he even attended college. As he told Forbes, "If he'd been a shoe salesperson, I might be a shoe salesperson now."</p>
<p><strong>See Also: Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.26/share!</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>Then there's Benjamin Graham, the so-called "Father of Value Investing," whose book The Intelligent Investor Buffett read at age 19 and calls life-changing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And of course, there was his late wife, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/39963533/warren-buffett-says-the-most-important-decision-of-your-life-is-who-you-marry-his-biggest-mistak">Susan Buffett</a>, who he says taught him how to open up emotionally and connect with the world. He often credits Susan as the driving force behind his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41866296/with-warren-buffett-donating-99-of-his-fortune-whats-left-for-his-three-children-well-its-complicated">philanthropic efforts</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But for Buffett, teaching isn't just about business. He's often talked about living by your "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36680376/warren-buffetts-first-wife-said-she-believed-he-viewed-accumulating-wealth-as-a-scorecard-of-success">inner scorecard</a>" – doing what's right and meaningful, regardless of what others think. "The true measure of wealth is how many people love you," he's said, adding that honesty and treating people well have been more valuable to his success than any financial strategy.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks"><strong>this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</strong></a></strong></p>
<p>It's this philosophy that defines Buffett's legacy. His annual letters to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders are famous for their investing advice and the life lessons they offer. He also strongly believes in philanthropy, pledging to give away the bulk of his wealth and inspiring others to do the same. As co-director of the HBO documentary Becoming Warren Buffett, Peter Kunhardt put it: "Warren believes that honesty has paid off much more than being sleazy or dishonest ever could."</p>
<p>So, when Buffett says he wants to be remembered as a teacher, it's not just about passing on investing tips. It's about making a lasting impact, shaping people&#8217;s thinking and improving the world – one lesson at a time.</p>

<p><strong>Mike Ippolito </strong>of Blockworks sees a resurging <strong>Ethereum </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), an evolution for <strong>Solana&#8217;s </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) and the expanding role of stablecoins and AI as key trends in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42638493/crypto-analyst-2025-will-continue-to-be-a-great-year-for-bitcoin">crypto in 2025</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened:</strong> In a <a href="https://x.com/MikeIppolito_/status/1870938950396731667">thread</a> on <strong>X</strong> on Sunday, Ippolito said he believes the U.S. will dominate the global crypto scene, with domestic conferences surpassing Asian counterparts in size and influence. </p>
<p>He further predicted Ethereum dissenters to diminish, boosting sentiment and price recovery. </p>
<p>Efforts to scale Ethereum's Layer-1 will remain minimal and stablecoins will outnumber Ethereum 2:1 on Layer-2 solutions, with valuations exceeding $450 billion.</p>
<p>Solana's cycle will continue, but inflation concerns will prompt changes to its issuance policy, while AI-focused tokens and use cases will gain momentum despite early challenges. </p>
<p>Crypto VC funding is projected to reach $20–$25 billion, with multiple raises exceeding $50–$100 million.</p>
<p>Layer-1 blockchains like <strong>Sui</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">SUI</a>) and<strong> Hyperliquid</strong> (CRYPTO: HYPE) will be the fastest-growing chains, according to Ippolito, and by year-end, Robinhood will rival Coinbase as the top U.S. crypto exchange.</p>

Direct Digital Shares Resume Trade Then Again Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 290.9%

<p><strong>Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VRTX#NASDAQ">VRTX</a>) last week announced that the Phase 2 study of suzetrigine for painful lumbosacral radiculopathy (LSR) had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42599745/why-is-vertex-pharmaceuticals-stock-trading-on-thursday-lower-after-back-pain-trial-data">met its primary endpoint</a>.<strong></strong></p>
<p>The company announced that the FDA had approved Alyftrek (or vanzacaftor triple) in cystic fibroris (CF) six years and older, in-line with expectations, according to Goldman Sachs.<strong></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/587781dc5064ed0001730067/salveen-richter">Analyst Salveen Richter</a> maintained a Buy rating for Vertex Pharmaceuticals<strong> </strong>and price target of $602.</p>
<p><strong>The </strong><strong>Vertex Pharmaceuticals </strong><strong>Thesis:</strong> During the initial launch of Alyftrek, the company is likely to target those patients who had previously started on one of its CFTR modulators but have discontinued over time, Richter said in the note.</p>
<p>Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.</p>
<p>Alyftrek expands the company's CF franchise to address around 6,000 such patients, he added.</p>
<p>Vertex Pharmaceuticals could also target patients who are currently on one of its other CF therapies, the analyst stated.</p>
<p>"Importantly, in addition to serving as a top-line growth opportunity, vanzacaftor enables higher margins and is dosed once daily, which provides incentive for switching notably in younger age groups," Richter wrote. This means Alyftrek provides the company with an "accretive opportunity" on both the top- and bottom-lines, he further said.</p>
<p><strong>VRTX Price Action:</strong> Shares of Vertex Pharmaceuticals<strong> </strong>had declined by 0.38% to $395.75 at the time of publication on Monday late morning.</p>
