Add bitcoin wallet support

[wolffan]

What is the expected behavior?
Like ERC20 wallets feature.
I want to be able to add a btc wallet as part of my portfolio

Which version of Balance is affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of Balance?

• parser
• network integration

People will definitely appreciate this in 1.0.

marking this as blocked until the refactor is done

To echo others, when the code refactor is complete, I would love to see BTC/LTC/ZEC, but understand there's going to be a cutoff somewhere as its just not feasible to support addresses for every single digital asset at this stage...

Crypto-politics aside, adding support for some number of the upper echelon would be a welcome addition.

Or perhaps a framework that would allow the community to write plug and play address modules for whichever digital assets they choose to enable in-app? Kind of like packages within Atom...

@jawiv we'd love to, but every wallet is a different blockchain wich means a different service/node to run and has potentially the same amount of workforce as adding an exchange. So future coins will have to be evaluated.
Thanks for the feedback :)
