I would argue that the pure mind is the base layer of your nature. It's just that many are blown about by mental inertia and cling to fixed views and beliefs. When that is the case your mind is not flexible and open and the Self identity feels easily attacked by ideas/ thoughts that challenge its world views.

I'd agree with that. Will financially incentivizing for good behavior promote to curb negative & unproductive dialog? Time will tell.

I think it will drastically change human behavior through incentives, because up until now the incentive has been to exploit others for self gain but bitcoin creates a cooperative game. Whatever you do to add value to the network increases the value for all of us in equanimity as the network increases in value because it has 0 entropy.

So the incentive to do what is unhelpful, unwise, and unkind will over time go to 0. This is probably on a multi century scale though. Yet these incentives are sorely needed in a world that has the technological capacity to destroy itself with nuclear war due to not being sociologically advanced enough or wise enough to handle its technological capacity.
