I'm not 100% sure that is exactly his point. I think the point is that for Eastern European players, micro amounts of USD translate better into their cost of living than it would for more of the Western world.
Belarus for example, the average monthly wage is around $200 USD (google searched). Therefore, you can safely grind up a decent living with a superior skill set compared to amateurs or beginners where the USD or Euro is prevalent.
If I make 1 buy in a day at NL10 on ACR, I'm at roughly $300 a month which is 150% of average in Belarus. If I do that where I live in the US, $300 is just less than 8 hours pay at my programming job.
