Thanks @pedromvpg for looking into that!

I think one difficulty BUY/SELL for fiat and altcoins have a different meaning. 
Technically it is always about BTC: I buy or sell BTC. This matches the intuitive meaning when you use fiat. 
I "Buy 1 BTC with 20 000 EUR", not I "Sell  20 000 EUR for 1 BTC".
For altcoins thought its the opposite. It is intuitive to say I buy or sell XMR:
I "Buy 152 XMR with 1 BTC", not I "Sell  1 BTC doe 152 XMR".

I think intuitively we consider one side as commodity and one side as money. For BTC/Fiat the fiat is considered as money and BTC as commodity. For altcoins the altcoin is considered the commodity and BTC the money.

Regarding confusion with offer being the mirror direction:
The avatar is the seller in the Buy screen. Maybe we can connect the avatar more with the CTA button:
| Button |  | Avatar icon |
| --- | --- | --- | 
| Take offer to BUY BTC | from | Seller  | 

Also the "remove" button could be more clear that its my Sell offer at the buy screen...
