I agree with stompix that this is just a bad joke ... and as I understand it, among other things, calling himself "Autist"

I'd advise to avoid this autist. Vlad Sas is the owner of a Romanian centralized exchange, active from time to time in the Romanian board; and, when active, he posts just ridiculous things. In my opinion is a totally untrustworthy person. I tried to have a few rational debates with him inside the Romanian board, but without any luck ([1], [2]).

Without having to know Romanian, I asked him in those topics to admit that he decided to run that exchange only from greed, in order to get himself rich. He was saying that he is a big fan of Bitcoin and that's why he started a centralized exchange.

I asked him, if he is such a big fan, why does he act against Bitcoin, by launching another centralized exchange, which is just an act against the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. I told him that people would appreciate him more if he was honest and just say: "Okay, I did it for getting myself rich!". But no, the guy started to praise the benefits (which existed only inside his ill brain) of centralized exchanges, no matter what I (and others) told him, in order to prove the disaster brought by such exchanges to Bitcoin. He was saying that "without us (centralized exchanges), BTC would have been transacted only on forums and among friends". I even quoted him the words of Satoshi, placed just next to its words, in order to see how ridiculous he is:

Quote

Without us (centralized exchanges), BTC would have been transacted only on forums and among friends || What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.

Without us (centralized exchanges), BTC would have been transacted only on forums and among friends || The public can see that someone is sending an amount to someone else, but without information linking the transaction to anyone.

Without us (centralized exchanges), BTC would have been transacted only on forums and among friends || I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.

Without us (centralized exchanges), BTC would have been transacted only on forums and among friends || With e-currency based on cryptographic proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and transactions effortless.

All in all, the man makes ridiculous allegations and is totally untrustworthy. I strongly advise to ignore him, no matter what he says.
