For me Bitcoin never changed!

They won't end the story. It's basically how some games have sequels and all of that but the original still remains the best for the hearts of most people mostly because those sequels were forced. Forced in the sense that they wanted a sequel to milk money from the community, same with these forks. Sure, some may acknowledge it's use and may actually be better than BTC one way or another, but in the end, it doesn't have the same concept as BTC is in terms of its future development.  Sides, the community has acknowledged BTC and both of its faults and feats. Even if something comes which is a bit better than BTC in one aspect, as long as it doesn't exceed it in overall terms, then I doubt BTC would become overthroned.

I also agree with you. It is not a new thing that the price of Bitcoin will increase and decrease again. It is nothing but foolish to think that any other currency can take the place of Bitcoin if the price of Bitcoin decreases. So I think Bitcoin has never changed!

That is we called volatility, all crypto have that kind of market features and it never changes the looks of Bitcoin. But this is not the only thing to say that Bitcoin had never changed but OP is pointing out how the hardfork affects the marker position for Bitcoin. Eventually, there is nothing and that hardfork even tells that Bitcoin remains to be the king among crypto. And that also tells that Bitcoin is a unique coin created, nothing could ever be compared to.
