There is not, and never has been, anything going on in the world of monetary economics other than tech. Going back thousands of years.
"Tech" is a force multiplier, whether that tech is factories, steam engines, gunpowder, chariots, printing presses, or software. The people who have the best mastery of the currently-most-useful force-multiplier tech at a given time tend to do very well.
Software, broadly, just currently happens to be the most useful force multiplier. That may change to the subset of software that is ML, or it may change to robotics, or something else entirely like synthetic bio.
