We are in the 1.0 phase no? 2.0 doesn't have to mean a new crypto. 2.0 could be a new path for bitcoin. Instead of the Mt.gox's and market hysteria of 1.0 we will have the hardware integration, widespread adoption and etfs of 2.0. Just my opinion.

That's what its being touted as, funny in an inside joke kind of way is all Smiley Imho its not really accurate though, all that stuff will be innovations that use Bitcoin while Bitcoin its self will change little and put focus on being a solid foundation to build upon, security, capacity, that kind of thing. The alts will be where the 2.0 stuff gets integrated into the core functionality of cryptos first and those features will only make their way into Bitcoin when they're tried and proven.
Even the concept of "2.0" has a bit of humour in it as that's more the way things work with propitiatory software, open source tends to have forks and diversions that are in use beforehand with major versions wrapping them up and making things tidy.

I agree with this. Bitcoin's foundation will continue to be built upon and alts will serve as more of a testing ground for future bitcoin tech. Everyone does get caught in the idea of 2.0 like it will be another bitcoin but I feel as I think you do, 2.0 is bitcoin with a legitimate ecosystem, significant testing, and very user friendly for the masses.
