Bitcoin May Need $1 Trillion in New Capital for Next Major Rally
Analysts warn Bitcoin's next parabolic surge could require $1 trillion in fresh investment to materialize, raising the bar for the next bull run.

Patience and a longer investment horizon may be prerequisites for those hoping to ride the next major wave.
