There is a difference, to me at least in being paid $4 per hour for full time (40 hr wk) and $7+/hr. Companies that don't pay enough to support standard of living will encounter friction.
Like if I were to take some wood and make a guitar out of it. Take 500m sats of material and then sell that+creativity for 1bch - I've increased the money value of BCH by that much.
