Little white bugs in potted plants. [View all]

So, I have a little potted money tree that I got last July, it’s been doing nicely with no issues until just this morning. When I was watering the plant I noticed hundreds of really tiny white speck-like bugs jumping around in the soil. I don’t know what they are so it’s pretty concerning having it in my house. Has anyone seen this before? Are they dangerous?
