That is not true. Bitcoin has never reversed a transaction without a signature.

The only time you are probably talking about is when someone made a block with a 9 billion bitcoin reward. Even then, they just convinced the miners to start a different chain. Thus, the chain with the 9 billion coins block just died. So yea, no reversal without a signature, ever!

oh without a signature, a completely irrelevant qualifier that I didn't even make as a prerequisite!

I'm also referring to the march 2013 hard fork

so congratulations you just helped me prove my "multiple times" for the lay man

What happened in March 2013? Which transaction was reversed?

every transaction that happened to be on the dropped chain.

I never said the hard fork was specifically to target a particular transaction, the result is that every transaction on the dropped chain was reversed.
