The supplied X link resolves to a CoinDesk post explicitly stating Salinas advises treating Bitcoin like a house rather than trading it. This is independently corroborated by Bitcoin.com and Benzinga reporting on the same CoinDesk interview, quoting Salinas saying 'buy some Bitcoin and store it, and don't look at it' and endorsing buy-and-hold dollar-cost averaging, and by Yahoo Finance framing him as a long-term holder comparing Bitcoin to real estate.
