Could you please elaborate on the steps required to successfully import wrapped
Bitcoin into a Metamask wallet? I'm familiar with the basics of cryptocurrencies but am still somewhat new to the intricacies of wrapping tokens and interacting with decentralized wallets. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how to ensure the process is secure, where to source the wrapped bitcoin, and any potential pitfalls or considerations I should be aware of. Could you also provide any recommendations on best practices for managing wrapped tokens within Metamask? Thank you in advance for your guidance.
