Bitcoin’s diminishing returns and growing inaccessibility for average retail investors are threatening the predicted extension of the crypto market cycle, according to 10x Research. Bitcoin is becoming increasingly unattainable for average investors, raising questions about whether the current bull market can sustain its momentum beyond the traditional four-year cycle.
