You are quoting something out of context here.  

This was before the roadmap and the decentralized blockexplorer was even a thing,
see this post of january the 8th:

And date of roadmap: http://spreadcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735.0

I remember the first week of 2016 very vividly.
Back then I spent many hours putting all results and findings together,
cleaning up the mess, and I stopped listening to impatient investors (who constantly pressured me to rush things).

And so I finally came up with a feasible plan for the foreseable future,
where I get to work on innovative things that the community will find useful,
and because of that, investors will make a profit.

Your FUD is getting desperate!
