On FloatSV they quote you one price when you're browsing, another price when you actually go to buy. This second price is the true current price of BSV for all intents and purposes
Robinhood, Voyager, etc. allow you to "bet" on BSV passively from the sidelines without actually influencing its price. They on the other hand are betting against BSV and are using the paper/physical price discrepancy to ensure their preferred outcome
AFAICT when you buy BSV on Robinhood or whatever, no actual BSV is being tied up, so it doesn't actually move the market. The lower price for paper BSV encourages people to buy it over the real thing, which makes it easier to keep the price suppressed
So yeah, important caveat: the quoted price you see everywhere is the "paper BSV" price, where they give you a discount for not actually taking "physical delivery" of your coins. Again I think this parallel with the metals market is not accidental
From what I’ve seen it’s impossible to buy BSV in the US for less than 5% over the quoted price that you see everywhere. Very reminiscent of silver, and probably for the same reasons
