When everybody but 1% of the population (that is fiat rich) is cut out of getting any profit from building the blockchain, what's going to happen to BTC?

What's going to happen to bitcoin is that it will be used for what it was intended to be used for.

To transfer and keep money safe from the banks and the governments.  To promote freedom, and options.  To reduce dependence.  To make some part of the world better than it was.

Bitcoin was never a get-rich-quick scheme:  it's an incentive.  Some will get rich - but they're the people who are working to make bitcoin work and to get it adopted - and they should get rich.  It's hard work.  Do you think all the people who adopted early have been sitting on their asses waiting for people like you to make them rich?

Where do you get the idea that bitcoin is about getting rich?
