300K is on the lower end of salaries, esp. over 8 years. This is also just run-of-the-mill individual contributors that got in very late. Early employees, senior/leads/managers/directors/vp will make substantially more.

You're also assuming they did nothing with their earnings over those 8 years - when in reality most are invested in the markets which have killed it over the last decade.

I think people in tech are making a shitload more money then most realize.

There are a lot of people in tech making a lot of money. Particularly at FANG/startups that have exited, they can "FIRE" after less than 10 years of working. I know many people in this category.

During the pandemic many people also made some changes to their lives (bought a house, moved out the city, moonlight second job, started consulting remotely, etc.).

Then you throw in the crazy rise in the markets (stocks, crypto, real estate) that many people have benefited from.

Coupled with the popularity of FIRE mentality, rise of remote work, etc, it doesn't surprise me there are big changes coming.

Not sure where you live, but 800 sqft condos are going for like $800K here in Toronto.

SFH under 2000 sqft are going for well $1.5M.

Inventory is near all time lows.

Most criminals use cash. USD to be exact.

They guarantee spot rate to dollar for every transaction - so businesses never need to take that risk if they don't want to.

They are mandating that merchants must accept it as a means of transaction though.

All merchants are mandated to accept it.
