@Vance_Writes Bitcoin works more like a savings account than a checking account in the U.S. It holds value well, but high fees and price changes make it tough to use for everyday purchases. I think of it as digital gold and choose faster, cheaper coins for daily spending.

MetaMask doesn't support ADA directly, your ADA is stored in a multichain wallet, which uses a different address format than your MetaMask.

To fund ADA gas for your wallet, transfer a small amount of ADA through a US-regulated exchange like Coinbase or Kraken to your Cardano wallet. On the exchange, trade ETH/SOL for ADA and send that ADA to your actual Cardano wallet.
