What's the difference between Base Coin, Base Currency and Quote currency
Base Currency
Currency unit prices are quoted as currency pairs. The base currency, also called the transaction currency, is the first currency appearing in a currency pair quotation, for example, ETH is the base currency in ETH/BTC
Quote Currency
A quote currency is the second currency quoted in a currency pair, for example, BTC is the quote currency in ETH/BTC
Base Coin
Base Coin is only used in certain bot type for the bot to focus on increasing the given currency which is the Base Coin, and do not care about any specific currency pairs. e.g. If you set BTC as the base coin in a Scanner Bot, the bot can trade any pair as long as it involves BTC, hence to have better chance to seize the opportunity
