If it is just payments, why have a special cryptocurrency? Or does it do something more clever?

A good question. And the answer is a bit surprising: community.

If you search for spankchain, you'll likely end up on their discord. There are friendly people to help answer your questions and set you up.

It's the same advantage YC has: by being a meta-layer, you end up attracting everyone who's trying to do anything in the space, rather than one specific aspect. Eventually, the network effects are most of the value.
