RE: Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S4W4 - Blockchain Forks.
When Bitcoin forked into Bitcoin Cash in November 2017, it was a well-known hard fork. A hard fork is the harder of the two fork types and is frequently the outcome of a lack of consensus among the owners of the cryptocurrency's nodes. It is the more complicated of the two fork types.
You are very right my friend, hard fork is the most complicated that results due to no middle ground, and there is some kind of enmity in the process because there is a lack of consensus.
The genesis block of both networks is the same, as can be seen from the screenshots above. We can observe that the transaction id, witnesses, timestamp, and other details are identical.
The Steem and Hive blockchains have the same genesis block, that's how hard the fork works, and the history is the same until the network splits. Thanks for sharing my friend and I wish you good luck.
