RE: Remember when @Blocktrades explained how a fork is not theft and you ate that shit up like it was candy?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

There was nothing new about Hive. It was clearly a Fork of steem, containing all the information from steem. So the term 'airdrop' wasn't really an airdrop. People just got the same coins they had on the previous chain. Only this time, some accounts were restricted, and that was contentious.

The Steem community also performed a fork, and this time, they did the same thing. Zeroed the accounts of a select group of individuals and moved it to different account. You could say they probably should have changed their name from Steem to something else, say 'Hiver' so it might look different. But you can clearly see the similarity here. A contentious fork too.

To me, both sides have done the same thing to each other. There's nothing more we can do about it.

No. That is objectively wrong. I find it pretty astounding there are actually this many people not understanding this simple concept so let me make it even more simple for anyone else confused.

Ever saved a file on your computer? You know there is a difference between "Save" and "Save As..."

Hive = "Save As..." with some changes, the different balances are not the only change on Hive. There is also a change to how witness voting works. You had one file, now you have 2 files. A NEW FILE. Get it?

Steem's recent HF = "Save" ie no new file, or a non-contentious HF, or an upgrade. Still ONE FILE.

In the first example of Hive, the original file remains, unchanged. So if you had assets there you still have them. You aren't entitled to anything in the NEW FILE.

In Steem's HF, people had assets and they were STOLEN, there is no NEW FILE, the only file was edited. Something people had, they no longer have.

This is seriously not that difficult to understand people, wtf.

"SAVE AS": HF21

"SAVE AS": HF22

"SAVE AS": HF23 (HIVE)

"SAVE AS": HF23 (STEEM)

See what I did there?

No I don't. What's the point you're trying to make?
