March 31, 2015, 08:06:46 PM was the time stamp on the post.
Only because you are somewhere between the pacific ocean and the rocky mountains.
Here in Chicago, the timestamp on the post was March 31, 2015, 10:06:46 PM
Almost anywhere in Europe it would already have been April 1 when the post was created.

Amazing interview with a fantastic in depth dive into the world of Satoshi and the development of Bitcoin 
Are you kidding me? You are probably the only one that didn't notice it's 1st of april and this is shitty joke. April 01, 2015, 11:36:36 AM
So the take-away here is stay away from the pump & dump KryptoHash. Got it 
You can't know. It might just be a conspiracy to pump that coin, of all we know.

April Fools Joke? 
Nope just obvious shitecoin pump move

Gavin: After he tested several candidates, he settled with a new one called KSHAKE that is used by a new altcoin called KryptoHash.
Read the source, it is not really a shitcoin. Regardless of this being April fools or not, there is some thought put into the algo on KHC when it comes to being asic resistant. People that would be against this are likely those that hold uber hash power pointed at BTC. March 31, 2015, 08:06:46 PM was the time stamp on the post.

What defines 'Bitcoin 2.0'?
Is it a whole new Bitcoin, brand new technology or integration with everyday life?

Or perhaps wr104 is up to the asic challenge after the second implementation of his algo.

I just got a phone call from satoshi, and he said to me xmr&drk consensus protocol is the bitcoin 2.0 and he's working on btc 3.0 protocol. ~swh~

even if this story is bogus, I still find it EXTREMELY STRANGE that Gavin claims to only have spoken to satoshi through the foum and emails, and that "Satoshi" kept his identity secret from everyone, every single step of the way. It seems too CIA-covert ops-like to be just one guy, who happens to have coded a new digital currency, and then disappears when millions start to use it, leaving behind millions of dollars worth or btc. Possibly he was a former govt agent, but it seems more likely that "he" was not just one person, but a group of people, many of whom are probably still "running" things

Sorry if this is a re-post.
The guys at CryptoNews just posted an exclusive interview with Gavin. Here are the parts of the interview that I found interesting. You'll see why:

Oh Man!, I was so proud when I read Satoshi will be adding some of my work into BTC 2.0

Tim: First, I would like to thank you Gavin for accepting this interview on such short notice...
Tim: I know this has been asked many times, but... Are you Satoshi Nakamoto?
Gavin: Am I Satoshi?... No...
Gavin: If I were Satoshi, I wouldn't be here talking to you, I'd be in Bahamas sipping Piña Coladas...
Tim: I had to ask...

Tim: When was the last time you were in contact with Satoshi?
Gavin: As a matter of fact, we were chatting this morning.
Tim: Is he back working at the Foundation?
Gavin: Well, not in the flesh but, he has been actively working on (Bitcoin) 2.0 since January and wanted an account in our private Git server to begin checking-in his code changes.
Tim: This is breaking news for us. Could you please elaborate more about Satoshi's new ideas for Bitcoin 2.0?
Gavin: I won't elaborate on his entire project but, basically he wants to move Bitcoin to a different Hashcash Proof-of-Work algorithm in order to slow down the current trend where the mining power is rapidly getting concentrated in a handful of players. When Satoshi launched Bitcoin back in 2009, he didn't envision SHA-256 getting so effectively implemented in Hardware and that the network could end up being controlled by small groups of people with warehouses full of mining rigs. He believes it is dangerous for the future of Bitcoin, that it could end up destroying his legacy so, he wants to make the changes now in order to go back to the old days where individual miners were the backbone of the Bitcoin network.
Tim: And which algorithm does he want to use in 2.0?
Gavin: After he tested several candidates, he settled with a new one called KSHAKE that is used by a new altcoin called KryptoHash.
Tim: I never heard of KryptoHash. Is this one of the hundreds of coins you can find in the forum at Bitcointalk? Does Satoshi read that forum at all?
Gavin: He surely does. He's always sending me links of new altcoins that have new interesting features. He has even mined few altcoins and posted opinions on forums using his other accounts.
Tim: How about you? Do you read the altcoin forum? Do you post in there?
Gavin: I used to frequent, not much anymore. Unlike him (Satoshi), I don't have the patience to sort through the noise. There are few altcoins with true innovations out there but, with so many new altcoins getting released every week, it is now impossible to find the good ones.

What is BTCitcoin 2.0
This is the first time I heard about it

It's a joke, made for the April Fools day.
Bitcoin 2.0 IS BITCOIN. If you want “not-Bitcoin” to succeed, then you shouldn't call it Bitcoin in the first place.
