There's a big difference regarding stellar, though: allowing global and fast payments is their goal from the start (not that I presume they will succeed in this).
Although not stated as clearly, the rest of their blog shows that from the beginning, through their will of "banking the unbanked", their primary focus is to be usable as a payment system.
One can expect they will decide on roadmap being more inclined toward scalability of microtransactions than a crypto seeing itself as a store of value (is that the case for bitcoin? I hear "store of value" a lot around it, but I don't know if it's an "official" vision).
This article explain their vision the best, I think: https://www.stellar.org/blog/why-design-matters/
