Hey @thecryptofiend
Last night I had a discussion that touches on this with some friends who don't know anything about cryptos.
They wanted to know why there are so many different ones when there is BTC and what's their point.
The way I see it is that BTC already is the reserve currency of the crypto world and it functions as an entry point into all the others. I agree that bitcoin should be kept as lean as possible and leave all the non fundamental functionality to the other cryptos. As the market matures there will be a time when BTC won't fluctuate as much as now and then it will enter its true stage of a store of value. Going forward I don't think we will see real life micro payments in BTC, maybe salaries, but for buying a soda it will be one of the younger cousins doing the heavy lifting. It's possible that all this will be happening under the hood, Joe will get paid in BTC but when he uses his XFastCard in a store, a conversion to XFastCoin will take place instantly and the payment will be done through its nimbler network all without Joe ever knowing this.

I think the "reserve" currency is a good way of describing it!
