If you want to make things "fair", you have to invent some sort of mechanism for creating and verifying identity, or else you'll be vulnerable to a Sybil attack. Since some of the main selling points of bitcoin are its pseudo-anonymity and proof of work system, which require no trust, sharing BTC "fairly" isn't really possible without fundamentally altering the protocol itself.
