Breaking News: Crypto Billionaire Gifts Free Hugs to Needy Writers
Smillew Rahcuef: “It was time to give back to the community!”
Tuesday, 14 February 2023, Prague, Oklahoma. Crypto Billionaire Smillew Rahcuef announced he would gift free hugs to needy writers. Rahcuef had shot to fame after introducing his cryptocurrency Smillewcoins in 2022.
“I love hugging. At home, my wife, our seven kids and I regularly hug, especially on our family evenings when we watch TV and eat broccoli pizza. Sometimes, my Grandma comes over and joins in,” said Rahcuef to The Kraken News.
The self-declared philanthropist revealed that his Grandma encouraged him to spread the love. “The Smillewcoins were a great success, and they secured my family’s livelihood for the next 12 generations. Still, it also left me feeling unfulfilled. Smillew, Grandma said, you and the family have everything you need now. Why don’t you share the love? You are a hugger, anyway!”
Rahcuef said he was amazed by the incredibly positive response to his offer, leading the billionaire to introduce a waiting list for free hugs. “These times are hard. So many writers need a hug.” According to Rahcuef, it is easy to get on the list. You get automatically added by reading any of the stories on this list and preferably commenting and clapping.
