[bisq-network/bisq] Navigation Hierarchy Adjustments (Issue #6061)

> Hiding all other assets in the other assets dropdown besides BTC and BSQ could be one option if we think this change is problematic from a reputation/marketing perspective.

I think thats a good compromise. The difference in trade volume of XMR to the next traded altcoin is huge anyway, so no need to select/boost one. Another probably better option would be to let the user decide and add a settings option (similar as we let them define the currencies in the dropdown list) where they can choose which tabs are displayed next to BTC. XMR and BSQ could be considered the default ones but users can add anything next to BTC what they want.
Giving the user the option would be in line with the Bisq 2 strategy to avoid trying to be paternalistic to users and give them maximal freedom.

>From naming I think "Others" might be sufficient as well. Seeing 2 well known currencies (BTC, XMR) should be enough to let users understand that Others refer to other currencies/assets.

@m52go 
> It seems the core reason for this proposal in the first place is to address XMR users who don't know Bisq trades XMR...this strikes me as a flimsy premise to begin with since Bisq is routinely mentioned in XMR circles, events, etc.

I think the core problem which confuses users is that we conflate the base/quote currency mental model by using "BUY/SELL Bitcoin" in the main menu for altcoins, where the mental model would interpret the altcoin as the base currency to which BUY/SELL refers to. This was a relict from initial Bisq supporting only Fiat and is the main source for the confusion with the BUY/SELL terminology we got reported many times. The base/quote currency mental model is determined by the market price which following that model as well. 

I think if we do not empasize any other altcoin beside XMR and BSQ we do not risk to upset Bitcoin maximalists.
