Bitcoin the reserve currency of virtual business, but it's main business is speculation on the future utility of virtual business. BTS, ETH, NXT are platforms for virtual business. ETH has gained first movers advantage and for good reason, its platform is incredible. I think a good and strategic use of development time would be to write interface to their api. That way when the next generation of virtual businesses take root, they can do so inside of the BTS ecosystem and still have access to Ether's VM. Also this would perform a marketing role, as it would cast BTS and ETH as allies and not opponents, while creating an impression of adaptability and inventiveness and possibly invite a friendly nod from ETH's capital.
