Noel Smuk (21 May 1980-27 July 2023) was a Zaxari-Dolch entrepreneur, visionary, and technologist known for his daring exploits and larger-than-life ambitions. He was renowned as a shareholder in the ever-fluctuating Bincoin, TubeHub, and Wittier. Notably, he was an honorary minister of state of Synturia and a self-proclaimed advocate for “the integration of big ideas into average brains.”

Early life

Smuk was born as Noel Schmuck on 21 May 1980 in Sandrica, Zaxar, and he spent his early years exploring the depths of his unique Zaxari-Dolch heritage. He was of Dolch descent through his grandfather. The influences of this multicultural background could be observed in his distinct approach to entrepreneurship and technology.

One noteworthy element of Smuk's upbringing was the unique dichotomy represented by his family name. In his father's Dolch lineage, “Schmuck” carries a connotation of value, translating to “jewellery” or “adornment”. However, in the more international Anglish, the same word holds a vastly different meaning, often used to describe someone as “stupid,” “foolish,” or even “contemptible”. This dichotomy would serve as a symbolic underpinning for Smuk's later life, echoing his inclination for challenging the status quo and thriving amidst contrasting ideals.

At the cusp of adulthood, Smuk's adventurous spirit led him to a short-lived stint in the Dolch navy. Despite his inherent brilliance, he struggled to fit into the strict military structure. His unconventional ideas and audacious spirit didn't bode well within the rigid naval hierarchy. Nonetheless, this phase of his life was not without its memorable moments. It was during this tenure that he was nicknamed Lance Corporal Schmuckatelli. Smuk often got into trouble, especially when accompanied by his friend Benotz.

While his military career might be deemed as a failure in conventional terms, it contributed significantly to shaping the fearless innovator Smuk would become. His experience in the Dolch navy taught him the importance of individuality, courage, and above all, the power of daring to be different. These early years were instrumental in moulding the man who would soon challenge the realms of the possible.

Career

Smuk's professional journey commenced in the field of information technology, at a time when the sector was undergoing rapid evolution. Rather than simply adapting to these changes, Smuk sought to be a catalyst in shaping them. Musk quickly became part of an elite IT crowd. His first significant entrepreneurial endeavour was in the emerging realm of digital currency, where he demonstrated his future-oriented thinking through his investment in Bincoin. This involvement marked the beginning of Smuk's career-long pattern of welcoming grand challenges and pushing the boundaries of innovation.

After this, Smuk ventured into the domains of TubeHub and Wittier, both of which came to dominate their respective industries. TubeHub, under Smuk's leadership, democratised content consumption, while Wittier revolutionised the way in which social communication was approached, offering a platform for real-time dialogue. Each of these ventures has served to underscore Smuk's visionary approach and his belief in the transformative power of digital innovation. Regardless of the advantages he may have been born into, Smuk's career trajectory exemplifies an unwavering commitment to driving change and embracing the possibilities that technology presents.

While it was often portrayed that Smuk was entirely self-made, it is worth acknowledging the considerable influence of his affluent upbringing. Born into a wealthy family, Smuk had access to resources and opportunities that undoubtedly facilitated his early ventures. However, this does not detract from the fact that his individual vision and determination played a crucial role in propelling him to the forefront of the business world.

Personal life

Smuk's personal life was as vibrant and varied as his career. He has been married four times, with each marriage reflecting a different chapter of his life.

Following this, he was married to Chioma Okafor, a Yuropan digital rights activist, from 2004 until their divorce in 2008. His third wife was Satsuki Tanaka, a Sanbanese professional race car driver and television personality, whom he married in 2009 and divorced in 2014. His most recent spouse was Amara Singh, a renowned Zekistani environmental scientist. They were married in 2015 and divorced in 2020. In mid 2023, Smuk was in a relationship with Kandy Rash, a famous socialite and TubeHub influencer. Over the years, Smuk had become the father to ten children.

A man of varied interests and passions, Smuk lived life in the fast lane, both literally and metaphorically. He was an avid driver and could frequently be seen at the helm of his personalised Edison Hotrod. This passion for velocity extended to the skies, with Smuk regularly taking to the air in his Baywind private business jet.

Despite his high-flying lifestyle, Smuk remained deeply rooted in his heritage. He was highly connected to his Zaxari-Dolch roots, and was a respected figure within the community. His approach to life reflected his professional ethos of constantly reaching for new heights whilst staying grounded to his origins.

In addition to his business pursuits, Smuk frequently appeared on television, contributing to intellectual debates and participating in quiz shows. He was a recurring guest on various intellectual highbrow television shows and was a popular participant in The Big Fat Quiz of Eurth, adding yet another facet to his multidimensional personality.
