so do i understad right: Bitcoin is over - one way or another?

No matter which side wins the argument, bitcoin is done and will cease to exist?

Yes, it's all over.

Just as you can never step into the same stream twice; that water has gone somewhere else. The Bitcoin of yesterday is gone, and only the Bitcoin of today remains. Well, except for the entire existing blockchain that has remained the same for years, but then new blocks get added every day. So it stays the same, except for the new parts which make it different. Except that the previous blocks never change. But other than that, it's all over. And also it's just beginning. Bitcoin is dead, long live Bitcoin.

I understand: Bitcoin is doomed when we reach the blocklimit (i doubt that's true but who gives a flying?)
And when Gavin gets his way the price will likely crash because nobody wants to get caught in this shit ... and bitcoin become inaccessible and unappealing for the normal user due to eccessive use of recources. Essentially also ending 'Bitcoin' and starting two new coins from the old chain: Gavincoin and MPcoin.
I personally fail to see who the users of Gavincoin should be. It's certainly not me. I would stick to dogecoin and others instead where there is only one blockchain and less confusion and risk involved. It is less volatilte too.

So Gavincoin will be for the superrich and basically loose its useability for normal people (in case they are even interested in it because Gavincoin will ironically not be designed for them but wants to cater to a userbase of small transactions which likely stop occuring on the Gavincoin chain because of said inaccessibility). Doge to the moon?

Chaos and Drama is what Gavin promised and he's about to give it to you.

I certainly fail to see who the users of Gavincoin should be ...

Predicting a crash of the market for the hardfork is also no rocket science.
