Feature Request: Incomplete list of Crypto Currencies? (Ethereum??)

[oliveratgithub]

Describe the feature

I am missing the following Cryptocurrency Symbols:

• ETH – Ethereum
• BNB – Binance
• XRP – Ripple
• BORG – SwissBorg

Why is this feature important?

I cannot add all my Crypto to Maybe…

Additional context, screenshots, and relevant links

Look here for a - pretty complete? - list: https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/

Question, also in relation to my previous request #897 : how do others add Cryptos to Maybe?
Are you guys using the converted USD/… values??

@oliveratgithub that is correct, these cryptos are not yet added to our currencies list:

https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/blob/main/config/currencies.yml

We'll have to figure out a good way to add new symbols since there are so many different cryptocurrencies. We'll definitely want to support most or all of the ones you mentioned above out of the box due to their popularity, but we may have to come up with a way for users to define their own currencies within the app for some of the lesser known cryptos due to the vast number of symbols out there.

My feeling is that the "Currency" selection should not be part of the "Amount" input, but get its own input dropdown (aka Select) - and it must be a filterable/searchable list which, lazy loads from the currencies list.

Something like this here: https://element-plus.org/en-US/component/select.html#custom-loading

I just opened a new discussion about yahoo finance. Yahoo finance could help here as it supports a bunch of crypto currencies as well as a lot of other assets.

A different personal finance app I know uses this as well.
