Do you really believe we are still pre-chasm?
It seems like we were in the chasm doldrums last, last year.

Now, it could be that bitcoin is everything and all things.
Its just software, so it could inherit ALL the features.

Instead of bitcoin and litecoin and hive
we could see
bitcoin.litecoin and bitcoin.hive
but this can only happen after things get really set in stone.
It could happen, but it really retards growth.

That said, cross-platform swapping algorithms, once they get really seamless
will make everything bitcoin.
Your phone may send digibyte and litecoin. The coffee shop may have CoffeeCoin (a coffee futures coin) as its main holding, but all both people see on the screens is how much bitcoin.

There is one big caveat for the growth of cryptos.
Most of the financial markets are going to evaporate.
Those big, big numbers won't be able to be converted into bitcoin.
The on-ramp is too small. And the pressure that will destroy the old system too big.
