I have a feeling the terminology is about to get very muddy:

There are probably some people that dont realize that one share there is 0.1 BTC, they think its 1 BTC.  It'll go to the correct values quickly once it opens and orders on both sides are allowed.

Should be pretty obvious the second people try to buy bitshares and see that its largest markets are CNY:BTS and BTS:BTC

It's been there for a while and nobody has been willing to sell.

I think OldMan may be right about this...

I dont think anyone is able to sell yet.  Otherwise someone already wouldve arbitraged that, its a huge difference.

It seems so. I had interpreted something I had read from Silbert incorrectly. (I interpreted it as being up to the individual holders, but live)

"While certain eligible owners of BIT shares will be able to start trading as soon as next week, Sonnenshein stressed that Grayscale can't predict exactly when this process will begin.

"What is going to be traded are existing shares and those shares are owned by people who have owned them for longer than a year. Having owned them longer than a year, that means they no longer have a restriction on them, but shareholders have to elect to sell those shares," Sonnenshein explained."
