I am against calling it "airdrop" still.
Look at hiveblocks before the fork happened. They exists; in #41818752 block the witness mined HIVE POWER and we can dig to transactions of HIVE between users https://hiveblocks.com/b/41818701#9713bf827dee69638ef353d77eb025e4929f6eed
How HIVE asset have existed before the fork? You can't deal with this. It is continuous chain, not a new one.
