Short answer is:
No bitcoin will not die.

I'am not convinced then , I would like to hear the long version .


"die" is a word which is too strong, we can see that at worst there will be a dump, bitcoin is still here despite all the old fork, bug, exploit and whatnot

and also the price is still increasing since the beginning of bitcoin, you should look at the average increase per day, i see no real sign of a departure of bitcoin, its technology is surely immortal

If by "it technology"we mean Blockchain here then yes Blockchain is used in most of the alternative coins now and banks also i guess but bitcoin it self ? I wouldn't be so sure

I saw that someone linked to this link and I have to say that's it's interesting for real http://qntra.net/2015/01/the-hard-fork-missile-crisis/
I joined bitcoin and btc community in late 2014 so I'am not sure when all this happened but this quote really attracted me and make me think :

Quote
There have only ever been two hard forks of the blockchain in the history of Bitcoin, and both nearly killed Bitcoin. The first was overseen by Satoshi in an attempt to fix the worst Bitcoin bug seen to date, and an unforeseen fork in which BerkeleyDB was replaced with LevelDB to allow for blocks greater than 512kb to be accepted by the network. The latter fork however didn't disenfranchise older clients by forcing them to use LevelDB over BerkeleyDB – a one line workaround resolves the bug in clients still running with BerkeleyDB.

Are my concerns justified or not? could something bad happen , I feel that all this BitcoinXT story and the censorship about it on Reddit etc ... will make bitcoin die just like that

This is an open discussion feel free to post your opinions and comments but let's keep this clean and no need to start fighting and insulting other members .
