Because the 1% isn't homogenous and a lot of them will want to keep the system working instead of killing the goose that lays the golden egg. The 1% is about 1.5 million people. Good luck getting most of them organized for a certain cause that will result in destruction of wealth mid term at the latest.

The 1% Is 1.5 millions iff the 100% is 150 millions, which is what population exactly?

The people that file tax returns in the US https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-season-statistics-for-we...

I picked that because I didn't think if babies and non-earners were included when calculating the top 1% of highest earners.

Bangladesh? (160 mln actually)

I think they could mean a total number of crypto users, recently estimated to be over 100 mln.
