A good monetary system should actually pay people to do transactions in it! Free transaction, and some reward for accepting transactions.

This is true for Bitcoin if you're running your own bitcoin node, there's no need to mine, just run a node and be incentivized for facilitating a transaction and augment the security. That's the whole point of bitcoin once the last block is mined hence the term "Bitcoiner", you're not a Bitcoiner if you're just holding bitcoins in your cold wallet.
