No. Capitalize the 1st letter in each word following the hashtag with No spaces between them

... The only time you use two spaces is when you are typing with a monospaced font like "Courier" or if you are using an old typewriter.
The space between hashtags lets lines break naturally.
As per the first reply... No spaces within a hashtag. Sorry.
