The 1% analog is redundancy in traditional currencies. Outside the developed economies a huge chuck of transactions is still done with physical cash.

I imagine it would be a lot more convenient to have some hard currency at hand when fleeing a conflict zone. One might need to bribe border guards at some remote location with unreliable (or non-existent) internet connection, to get to safety.

Sure, holding crypto doesn't prevent anyone from also holding physical cash.

Both are quite valuable tools to defend oneself. They have different balances between risk, convenience, liquidity, anonymity.
