Starting with some good news, this was published yesterday on Easter Sunday.   A day celebrating the reason for peace of mind for today and hope for tomorrow, for many.

In spite of all the recent concerns expressed about the future for Bitcoin, for those placing their faith "<strong><em>In BTC we trust!</em></strong>" this was encouraging news, right?

Number go up?  And stay up?

As this community was one of the first ones catching my eye, I will take this opportunity to provide a little bit of an update.

<h2>Update: A Work-in-Progress</h2>

While I do not always have the time to write a post, I do make an effort to keep an eye on what is happening, as I have always appreciated the potential for this particular community.

</center></p>

So, here is a quick overview of my UX with the One Bitcoin Club to date.

<p><center>________________________</center></p>

<h4>Outstanding Issues</h4>

In priority order, from my perspective:

<ol>

<li>Over a month <a href="https://peakd.com/@quark.top/re-starkerz-stfaxl" target="_blank">later</a>, I still have not received my Sats for these transactions:</li><br>

<br>

@starkerz alerted @brianoflondon to this, with no response.&#160;  I have attempted 3 different times, in 3 different ways, to communicate directly with @brianoflondon, with no response.&#160; Why? 🤷‍♂️<br><br>I do not have any idea what exercises @brianoflondon goes through to balance his books.&#160;  Left as is, either 1) @starkerz should get his HBD returned to his @btc4content wallet, or 2) I should get Sats sent to my V4Vapp wallet.

<li>As I have reported, with a lot of associated details, my lead image fails to appear.&#160; In trying different work-arounds myself, I have succeeded in 1 out of 4 attempts.<br><br>I used to hear a little bit on this from @breakaway-dev.&#160; More recently, I see test posts from @breakdev1.&#160;  Same person, different accounts?&#160; Two different devs?&#160; One is replacing the other?&#160; 🤷‍♂️<br><br>As reported, whatever the source of the problem, it affects both PeakD's, as well as OBC's, UI.</li><br>

<li>New:&#160; HTML for code, < code > < /code >, does not work in the OBC UI.&#160; This is true only for the OBC UI.  In PeakD's UI, it appears just fine, as red characters on a white background.</li><br>

</ol>

<h4>Open Questions</h4>

While there are others, I'll limit this to one, to keep it simple:

<br>
</center></p>

Asked <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-125568/@quark.top/yes-logged-into-the-one" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-125568/@quark.top/update-one-bitcoin-club-a" target="_blank">here</a>, then in more detail <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-125568/@quark.top/work-in-progress-one-bitcoin" target="_blank">here</a>, there has been no response.

On this topic, it is nice to see some progress has been made on the UI:

</center></p>

That said, I could find no reference to anything written about it, which would have been nice to receive.&#160; It must also be a work-in-progress, as my posts should be listed in this tier, as <code>I have <strong><em>100,000</em> Sats</strong></code> in my Xverse wallet.

They are not.

<p><center>________________________</center></p>

Patience not being one of my strong points, I originally titled this section "Not Ready for Prime Time," as a little tongue-in-cheek way to express my disappointment these issues are outstanding. I'll ask a simple question, of the accounts to which this portion of my post has been addressed:

> *"If our roles were reversed, what would your reaction be?"*

Being a reasonable person, I believe, even a little bit of communication would go a long way to changing my perception.

<h2>A.O.B. (<u>A</u>ny <u>O</u>ther <u>B</u>usiness)</h2>

As a test, I made one purchase of Bitcoin converting 5 HBD to Sats of BTC via transacting with the @v4vapp account wallet.  I wanted to know what the fees would be:

<p><center>
<img src="https://images.hive.blog/500x0/https://images.hive.blog/DQmebBEcpjoZUFoipj88YvK6w35SDx27rW9srvG8QAu3zFh/image.png"><br><sup>

</sup><br>
</center></p>

Seems high, from what I have experienced outside the Hive blockchain.

That said what I do not know:

<ul>

<li>Whether the fee is fixed, i.e. converting larger amounts of HBD would reduce the % lost to fees.</li>

<li>What @v4vapp uses for the price of Bitcoin.  In my case, I used <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank">CMC</a>.</li>

<li>How closely @v4vapp's fees track with what we can all see on <a href="https://mempool.space/" target="_blank">mempool</a>:</li><br>

</ul>

</sup><br>
</center></p>

Right now would not be a great time to transfer any Bitcoin.  I have seen these values down to 1 all the way across.  As with any blockchain, the transaction volume varies and the fees along with it.

<p><center>________________________</center></p>

Any input from others on reducing the % of the fee is welcome.  If part of the answer is helping pay for the cost of this conversion option even being available, having that clarified or confirmed is equally welcome.

Finishing with where I started, here is a quick chart of the data table provided by Watcher.Guru on <a href="https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/1914034659555426330" target="_blank">X</a>.

</center></p>

I wanted to see if any curve fitting option might work to show a trend.  And based on that, see what it might show for an estimate of what the price of BTC might be on Easter Sunday, 2026.

<p><center>________________________</center></p>

After fiddling with it for awhile, I think I'll just leave those projections and forecasts to the analysts among us who seem to spend many of their waking hours trying to figure out the same thing.

Looking into your crystal ball, what do you think the price of BTC will be on Easter Sunday, 2026.

Best wishes, until we meet again,
QT
