A fork is not a clone, it represents a deliberate change to the code and the data (if necessary) of a blockchain.

Hive was created as something brand new. It just happened to closely follow Steem balances but those who worked so hard to build it had no OBLIGATION to air drop ANYONE. They were, in fact, completely correct to exclude anyone associated with the attack on and hijacking of Steem.

Hive is not new. It's separated by hard fork. It's a copy of the steam. I also copied the steam wallet. My steam was copied with a hive token. But witnesses stole it.

Show me on the blockchain where you had something called Hive and then you didn't.
