Could you elaborate on whether Metamask, a popular Ethereum wallet, supports the storage of Bitcoin (BTC)? Given that Bitcoin operates on a different blockchain network than Ethereum, it's crucial to understand if this functionality is possible. Would users be able to safely manage their BTC holdings within the Metamask interface, or would they need to utilize a separate wallet solution specifically designed for Bitcoin? Clarifying this point would greatly assist individuals seeking to consolidate their crypto holdings within a single wallet platform.
