Sorry for my previous post, i made a mistake.  
Currently i see that there is no way to change base currency anymore? have all of them been removed, LTC & DASH ?

Do you think it would be a good idea to have DAI as a base currency and be able to trade that easily with other alts/fiat ?

I think that at this moment, supporting any other base currency different to BTC is not realistic.  
In the past, due to the BCH/Segwit war and raise in miner fees, different base currencies were adopted, but it was a big effort with very little adoption.

If [Bisq v2](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/118) becomes a reality, there won’t be any base currency and you will be able to put offers in any desired currency pair.
