Yeah, I totally agree about the Hive fork, they could drop them or not to anyone.

You forget this all started with these same witnesses doing a sneaky private softfork that effectively nullified Justin's purchased stake.

Many of them never wanted that softfork to be undone. Justin's sock puppets undid it.

A year prior to that, they took several votes to burn Ned's stake.

So, yeah.. if I was going to rage quit over wild west witnesses it would have been 2 years ago.

But to your point I agree, they can drop or not drop Hive to anyone they wanted to and exclude anyone they wanted to. No problem.

The only good guy in this mess is who ever sent the funds to bittrex and I do hope it gets returned to the owners.

Outside of that it is just who cries better no one is being honest and I am sure you are aware of that too.
