I was given BSV wallet address to send BSV. I accidentally sent BTC. Is it lost

[Sims25]

A person wanted me to send BSV to their wallet. Instead I send BTC to that BSV address but the BTC only shows on the BTC chain. How do I get that money?

Only the person who owns that BSV address can recover the BTC that you've sent to it.
Also, the wallet that he's using should be a non-custodial wallet that has a feature to export private keys or seed phrase.

To recover it, he should export that address' "private key" and import it to a Bitcoin wallet.
Then after that, the BTC balance should show up and he can now send it back to you.
(instructions may differ depending on the wallet that he's using)

This is one of the good reasons to use a noncustodial (private key) wallet, if the coin receiver uses a private key wallet he would be able to recover the coin as nc50lc commented about it already. But it can be difficult if the receiver uses an exchange address because he (the receiver) has no private key and will not be able to recover the coin unless the exchange recover it for him. In this later case, the receiver can contact the customers care of the exchange if an exchange is used.

Usually, the people promoting BSV do that on purpose. They like to pretend it's real Bitcoin, and they like to trick people.
It's not going to help you get your money back, but can you share what exactly they said that made you send Bitcoin?

Thank you for the help.

OP mentioned that he sent the BTC by accident so I don't think it can be concluded that he believed any BSV propaganda that would compel him to send BSV to a BTC address.

@Sims25:

Judging by your last post, if the problem has been solved, you should lock this topic as well.
