The fact that they are adding in Smart Contracts makes me think they're getting distracted. I don't think every coin should support smart contracts, and would prefer if there were coins that did not - such as BTC, IOTA, DASH, etc.
While I don't have a strong opinion on whether or not this should be considered a distraction, I do find it interesting that Vitalik originally considered developing smart contracts on top of BTC, but even back then "certain core devs" were working against him by limiting/censoring components of the protocol thus making smart contracts on BTC a non-starter. (Source: Vitalik "Not giving away ETH" Buterin on Twitter )
There's room for a coin that just does medium of exchange and store of value REALLY well, and BTC does both of those in spades.
I'm not so confident about this, and it's a big reason why I'm skeptical of the future of BTC. It was only a couple months ago that average transaction fees were above $20. In my opinion, this makes for a horrid medium of exchange. If they were willing to take a dual approach of a dynamic block size increase AND developing a second layer network, I would feel a lot better about it, and it would negate some of the reason for BCH's existence. But alas, here we are.
