> think about that infamous 1% moving just half of that 10% into Bitcoin ..

Please remember "that infamous 1%" is actually the 0.001% or much less. The top 1% income actually includes dentists, successful software engineers, etc. Normal successful people. An amount of wealth that can actually be attained regardless where you came from, given luck, talent, luck and in some cases, hard work[0].

The phrase "the 1%" was originally introduced to draw a line between people with such a ridiculous amount of wealth that it doesn't make sense and is really only attainable by being born in it, or being born with very rich family and learning the shibboleth over your lifetime. Becoming insanely wealthy by an insane stroke of luck is possibly but it only gets you in contact with this elite, not "in", but if you play your cards right your children might.

[0] don't be mistaken that "hard work" is any kind of predictor for wealth. just look around you. hard work may be considered virtuous, but that's it. it's not like "being a good person" gets you rich, either.
