PSA that trips up a lot of newcomers: BTC and BSV split years ago and are separate chains now. Sending coins to a BSV address from a BTC wallet doesn't convert anything — it just sends BTC to an address format that chain doesn't recognize. Always double check which network you're actually on before sending.

So you went to your profile, copied your BSV address and sent BTC to it. Why???
IDK if with your twetch keys you can access those coins in a BTC wallet.

Fair - the address format itself isn't the issue, same key controls it either way. The real risk is more about whether the wallet you're using actually lets you sweep from a foreign-chain UTXO cleanly.

BTC does recognize the same address format as BSV

True, same base58 encoding on both. My phrasing was sloppy - it's not that the format is rejected, it's that the chain your funds actually sit on doesn't match what most people expect.
