Because I didn't fork anything.
BTC changed the protocol. BSV restored and preserved the original rules.
Starting a new chain with a new genesis block would have created a different system, not Bitcoin.
The entire point was continuity of the existing ledger, existing transactions, existing ownership records, and the protocol as originally designed.
If you create a new genesis block, you are creating a new asset.
Bitcoin was already running. The objective was not to invent a replacement. It was to keep the original system operating under the original rules.
The real fork occurred when others changed the protocol. Preserving the protocol is not a fork. Changing it is.
