I agree that it is a good idea to 'switch/enable' the multi-currency
balance screen only if there actually are multiple currencies in the
user's wallet. So usually we'd show the balance history of the one true
currency of the user, but once they use a second currency we use the
balance-overview screen as their new 'home' screen and then the
balance-history becomes something they get once they select a currency
(with 'back' bringing them back).

To clarify further: The QR-scan action would then remain active at all
times on both screens.

Also, the settings/hamburger-menu would then only be accessible from
whatever is _actually_ the 'top' right now, so either balance-history
(one currency) or balance-overview (multi-currency). In the
multi-currency case, the balance-history would have a 'back' button
instead of the hamburger.

Sounds good?
