You fit go copy wrong Bitcoin address give person to send you Bitcoin only for you to discover later say na another Bitcoin address you copy. You ft dey invest for the wrong Bitcoin if care is not taken. Even etherium related coin also get that futures.
Op, we have just 4 different types of Bitcoin address which comes with various specific features ranging from increased privacy,speed and cheaper transaction.
Bitcoin has the
Taproot(bc1p) (increased privacy)
Segwit or Bech32 address(bc1q) (lower transaction fee)
Pay-toscript-Hash(p2SH)
Legacy Address or p2pkH(higher transaction fee)One important thing to know is that one can send Bitcoin across the different Bitcoin address type since Bitcoin address are cross-compatible to any Bitcoin address type. Knowing this we must not worry if some how we send our Bitcoin from Legacy address to Taproot address, and can't see the balance appear on the wallet, there is no need to panic because we just need to update or upgrade our wallet to a Taproot compatible wallet in order to see the balance correctly. Besides we can always check the transaction on the blockchain if the transaction is successful
From my discovery I dey always see plenty coin from different exchanges, wey get Bitcoin logo but different names and thesame price and some also dey less cheaper. say the real Bitcoin supposed to dey different from others. Both in price and logo, Because some people ft no spot the difference.
I believe you're talking about these. I've also come across them, but they're not actually Bitcoin. These are known as Bitcoin Futures or Bitcoin Contracts for Difference (CFDs). Even though they share a similar logo, they're not the same as Bitcoin their value is based on the price of Bitcoin.
