This is all so complicated. I've been reading through the comments here. If indeed Maxwell does create his hard fork, what happens? Do we have two kinds of bitcoin or do we still have the same thing but somethings changes? What happens to the bitcoins in my wallet right now? Can someone point me to an infographic about or a document describing this fork we are all talking about? 

Not a joke to the guys applying for patents, that's for sure.

Can I buy bitcoins and then sell whenever I want or not? can the imaginary owner of bitcoin withdraw coins from any wallet?
Bitcoin with or without an owner still is traded and can be mined.
Who owns dollar? besides the US government having the power to print them literally anyone holding any amount owns the dollar, makes any sens now?

About the hard fork I think the best thing is to inform the community first and even post a sticky topic in main forum section with a poll to gather a few thousands votes at the very least, because people will never trust the system again if the decision made by a few experts and developers only.

Noone can own bitcoin. Get a brain.

Yep.. that's my thought too... The thread has a kind of bad premise, even if Maxwell has quite a bit of influence, he only has influence as long as he is making sense to convince others to go along with whatever he happens to be proposing to do or not do.

Too many people are gullible. Who would want to not go Anonymous?

I don't know a lot about the topic, but my understanding is that there is a considerable difference between Gavin and Maxwell, just in terms of their level of activism in bitcoin.

Gavin had not contributed any code for years, he submitted some proposals that were not accepted (XT and Classic) and then he did the questionable thing with Craig Wright.

I thought that Maxwell did contribute code from time to time, and is very involved in core development issues.  You may not agree with some of the politics or methodologies of Maxwell or his way of expressing some of his views, but he seems to be actively involved and actively participating in core meetings on a regular basis, no?  so why would anyone have their commit access pulled when they are actively involved in software development, as a contrasting point to the lack of involvement of Gavin.. from my understanding of the matter.

Is this all real or just a joke. So what will happen if somebody owns bitcoin, that is the next question. Will bitcoin be controlled by maxwell, will decentralization of  bitcoin remains or not? Will the blocksize changes or not?

Im not going to react neagatively as of now, but if things go out of control due to maxwell owning bitcoin then thats another story. Lets just hope that if maxwell owns bitcoin, bitcoin will be better than ever.

If many people are very unhappy with Bitcoin because it is slow and has low transaction throughput, why not support Litecoin? It has 4 times the speed and 4 times the allowed transaction throughput. Roger Ver should start supporting it instead of advocating for his hard fork.

i agree with this as we all having bitcoin in our wallet and we should be the owner of bitcoin too. bitcoin is belong for every people which want to make profit and they should be proud for this and maybe its only the hoax news to make that guy famous in bitcoin industry.
