there is going to be another 2.0, or 3.0 that does this in a far more elegant manner than both nxt and btc, having all the apps in one download but also segmented for user friendliness. an app store, or marketplace that covers everything from apps to digital goods and the asset exchange within the client if you like, where users can enable or disable what ever apps they wish perhaps with the top 3-5 apps being default enabled. would you agree that that is the perfect solution to the "apps" issue?
The whole Bitcoin/blockchain/cryptocoin 2.0 , 3.0, ect... speak is mostly marketing talk for alts so don't pay attention to that. Bundling apps and software is already happening in Bitcoin as you can see with various hot wallets, openbazzar, and other wallets like kryptokit. The Future for bitcoin will have both single solution apps and bundled featured apps. I want them both and so does the market. Bitcoin will likely be akin to HTML where many programs, aps , and blockchains are scaffolded to it including PoS and DPoS variants. If Bitcoin fails(possible) it is more likely that an inflationary government issued PoS or DPoS, or Ripple/stellar like coin takes over. I understand you won't want to hear this but I cannot see too many circumstances of Nxt growing beyond maintaining a niche market in the top 5 cyrptocoins at best. There are both network, and social reasons for this and Nxt has a very controversial IPO that will continue to always haunt it in the same way that Satoshi's 750k to 1 million coins will haunt bitcoin(Not as bad as a 2 month IPO where the date was changed however) and you didnt answer my question...
"So again, what specifically can bitcoin accomplish that NXT cannot other than send and receive coins with out the use of a 3rd party or alternate blockchain right now?"
There are many wallets and aps that have functions other than sending and receiving Bitcoin. Kryptokit is one of them, but who cares if a feature uses multiple blockchains or there are many solutions and 3rd parties involved when they all use and depend upon the bitcoin blockchain. So your criticism of Bitcoin is that there is too much choice and you would rather have only one bitcoin client with everything included? That is a recipe for disaster and a sure way to never grow. A Few features that Bitcoin has over Nxt Right now (Outside of marketshare and adoption): How about the quantity of choice in smartphone wallets, hot wallets , standalone wallets, multi-sig wallets? How about all the API's and frameworks written? How about all of the current and soon to be released Bitcoin Hardware wallets? How about the Bitcoin ATM's? How about the Bitcoin POS devices for merchants? How about the numerous Bitcoin implementations written in many different frameworks and code?

As far as the Bitcoin 2 marketing, I tried to create a separate distinction between the Bitcoin metadata derivative app development and the more ambitious Turing complete protocol development. The term is used for both which makes some conversations confusing. Authority based coins are ideal for governments. Unfortunately, governments don't care about their economies anymore, they only care about their weapons. They still don't realize how powerful a PoW blockchain can be as a weapon, as well as an instrument of mass enlightenment. Bitcoin is getting beyond apps. They will have ATMs and handheld devices so simple even a POTUS could use one.

Nxt and Peercoin have their issues.. check out the BRO coin solution and tell me if it's the holy grail.. or not...

Ok, this isn't really a revolutionary idea as a way to remove the need for historical checkpoints.Bitcoin will be removing the need for checkpoints with the headers-first sync in the next version.

The checkpoints are solving two different issues with PoW vs. PoS. In PoW it prevents faster hashing from rebuilding lower difficulty chains. In PoS they are the duct tape holding everything together which works fine if there is one central major stakeholder. I'm just not sure that Bergstake isn't even more elitist than DPoS.

It gives extra permanent stake for miners that develop faster technology mining. It can easily be abused if the developers already have GPU and ASIC mining available and only release CPU mining as open source.
