This is good but I guess I preferred the previous one though because of the phrase Everyone gets bitcoin at the price they deserve but I'm curious about the time difference though its shows same date
Short answer: the date is probabilistic and based on a best guess; each image generally gets a slightly different date/time but as we get closer, only the time is likely to change.
That being said, even when I update all the images' timers to the same date and time, I see slight differences in the rendered images times.  I'll have to ask the Nifty Image guys about it.

 Also, I'm now allowed 50k impressions per month.  Each time I post one, it uses about 300 impressions, when people quote the image, that doubles and if they quote two images, it trebles - I'm only telling you this so you know why I removed the hotlink in my reply - quintupling and beyond could prove to be problmatic.  I don't want to run out of impressions right before the halvening Smiley

  Did a ton of driving yesterday but I finally had a chance to investigate early this morning.  Turns out there's an option to display the time in the user's local time rather than UTC.  I thought I had left it "off" but I found that option selected "on" for one of the images.  So now if the date/time differs, it's because I'm too cheap to pay US$1k+ per month to use json data for a dynamic date... which is also why I no longer provide "blocks remaining".
 In fairness, the sales guy (very nice guy) offered to set up a data source for me if I signed up for a year... but after the halvening, I couldn't see a use for it.
