Bitcoin is not just a technology, but a test of the investor's mentality and patience. Rajat Soni explains why most people reject Bitcoin, even though they understand its potential. He believes the key issue is not the price, but the way of thinking about money and financial freedom.
This perspective helps to understand why so many people stand on the sidelines of the market.
The mental barrier that blocks Bitcoin
Rajat Soni starts with the foundation, which is the finite supply of Bitcoin. There are only 21 million BTC in the world, divided into exactly 2,099,999,999,976,900 satoshis. This number will never change, regardless of the decisions of governments or central banks. Therefore, every satoshi bought today has a different value than a satoshi bought in the future.
Soni shows a simple example that resonates with beginners. Today, you can buy about 1100 satoshis for 1 USD. When Bitcoin reaches 1 million USD, those same 1100 satoshis will be worth 11 USD. At a price of 10 million USD, it will be 110 USD, and at 100 million USD, it will be as much as 1100 USD.
According to Soni, people do not react to these numbers rationally. Instead of thinking long-term, they focus on the present and quick effect. This leads to delaying purchasing decisions and increasing the cost of entry. Every month of delay means fewer satoshis for the same amount.
Bitcoin versus fiat and "fiat brain rot"
Soni criticizes a phenomenon he calls "fiat brain rot." It's a way of thinking where money always loses value, so saving seems pointless. People do not believe that saving 1 USD daily or monthly can realistically change anything. Meanwhile, Bitcoin rewards consistency and patience.
His approach is based on a simple scheme. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, he starts with small amounts. Then he scales purchases as income grows. Soni emphasizes that he has never met a person who understands Bitcoin and does not want to have more of it.
At this point, a key mental diagnosis is made:
"The problem is that most people really think they can't be rich. They see themselves as victims. They see themselves as people who are at the mercy of others to have financial freedom. They don't believe they can be financially free. So when someone gives them an idea for achieving financial freedom, they dismiss it. They want quick, easy, and immediate results instead of taking the time, delaying gratification, and facing the pain of that delayed gratification. They want instant gratification. They want results right away."
This approach explains why Bitcoin is ignored despite growing adoption.
Bitcoin as a tool for long-term freedom
Soni discusses the reactions to his film "Small Bitcoin buys will change your life." He showed a simulation where buying 1 USD of Bitcoin monthly at 20% annual growth leads to buying a house in 2087. With the price of 1 BTC equal to 7.2 billion USD, a house worth 5.1 million USD would be attainable. However, many viewers focused on the date rather than the mechanism.
The expert explains that this was an illustration of the power of compound interest. As amounts grow, time dramatically shortens. With 10 USD monthly, the goal appears in 2069. With 100 USD monthly, a house worth 933 thousand USD can be achieved in 2052 with a contribution of 32.4 thousand USD. With 1000 USD monthly, the goal appears already in 2036.
For better orientation, Soni provides specific variants:
100 USD monthly: house in 2052
1000 USD monthly: 0.7 BTC worth 462 thousand USD in 2036
10,000 USD monthly: three houses in 2030
This shows that timing and scale are key, not the magic of quick profit. Bitcoin works best for those who accept boredom and consistency.
Finally, Soni refers to financial realities. The median 401k balance in the USA ranges from 40,000 USD to 81,000 USD, depending on age. Many people do not even have 400 USD for emergencies. In this context, even 1 USD monthly in Bitcoin becomes a shift in mindset, not just an investment.
