“We’ve been on a shopping spree lately for sure. But THIS is our most promising acquisition. EVER,” said Ev Williams, excited like a turkey the day after Thanksgiving.

“I’m jealous, of course, but it makes sense given the recent strategic shift from pro writers like me to unknown people with cool hats,” said Hogan Torah, tears in his eyes. Hogan then left the conference room with his back straight and his hands crossed behind in a prayer-like gesture. As he was crossing the door, he shouted: “I’ll reinvent myself! Yet again!”

“I’ve known Smillew for years, and he totally deserves it. He has put in the hard work and accepted all my suggestions as an editor fairy,” said Holly J See, surfing the joy wave of being there. People close to the deal confirmed that Holly got a lifetime subscription to Grammarly for her services.

“The guy is a wanker, but he’s good,” confirmed Baskerville Old Face over the phone. BOF couldn’t bother to come to the official conference as it was trimming day for his hound.

“When I saw Smillew and Ev enter the Tusla river park, I just couldn’t believe it. I’m such a lucky duck to have witnessed this historical event.” After this gushing statement, Aimée Gramblin started quack-quacking her delight too loudly and had to be escorted out of the conference room.

“I’m the bighead behind all this,” bragged Loudt Darrow, proud as a sloth. “Ten years ago, I missed the crypto train. But when Smillew shared his crazy idea with me, I knew my turn had come.”

“Prost,” shouted a disgruntled BichoDoMato, speaking in Romanian. “The guy didn’t even read my MWC story, and now he signed the deal of the century?!!”

According to the press release, the total amount under consideration for this transaction was an impressive undisclosed number of bitcoins. Let’s just say that our unofficial sources certified you could fill many a piggy bank with all the pennies involved.

“I know this recent rant of mine seems out of place with the deal signed, but I’m still going to share the link in the hope more people will read it,” said Smillew in his concluding remark.
