BTCP vs BTC
Bitcoin Pro vs Bitcoin
21 million still being mined. 2.1 million already finished.
Bitcoin is the original. Cap 21,000,000, and coins are still coming out of the ground. Bitcoin Pro is the tighter cut. Cap 2,100,000, already finished, sitting in an Ethereum wallet, trading on Uniswap. You hold one, or you hold both. They are not the same bag.

Ten times tighter. That's the bag.
Bitcoin: 21,000,000. Bitcoin Pro: 2,100,000. Same shape of cap, one tenth the coins, and nothing left to find. The price is its own market, the Uniswap pool, not a peg to BTC. You are not buying a cheaper Bitcoin. You are buying the scarce one.
Keep BTC on Bitcoin and BTCP on Ethereum. A MetaMask address receives the token. It is the wrong place for a native Bitcoin transfer. Contract: 0x723CbfC05e2cfcc71d3d89e770D32801A5eEf5Ab.
Wrapped Bitcoin is a third thing, a receipt for BTC sitting with a custodian. That's Bitcoin Pro vs WBTC. The old ticker clash is Bitcoin Private.
