Musician Akon is Launching a new Cryptocurrency.

So is he doing an ICO? 

[taiwww]

Well as long as it has a celebrity who knows nothing about cryptocurrency behind it then it will be a sure winner. They should not even bother producing a whitepaper. A website with a few of his videos should do it. Just make sure that in the video's there are lots of young women in Bikini's and lots of expensive toys like Lambo's.

Lolz. Laughed a lot when I was reading your post here. Its true that when celebrities come online then it creates different kind of craze over here. Even people who are not engaged in the crypto currencies and are fan followers of celebrity like this then they will start following them and might just jump into he crypto currencies. So truly it is going to be cool project if they really are on to something. We will get more investors in the process and will help gain some push upwards as we see the down surges. Wow, a celebrity coming in and that is a good news.

It's my idol. If he made a new penny then surely 100% I would invest 50% of my fortune in the Akoin coin. Surely some other famous singers will also create their coins

This is bullshit news. I'm a very close friend of Akon. He only knows about Bitcoin, but he does not invest any money into bitcoin and cryptocurrency. This information is not true

[Hssn]

He is doing im very long ago and you can see his facebook page its covered with links so now he's moving to cryptocurrency seeing its demand.

but I fear that if Akon created the Akoin coin and then all the celebrities in the world would create their coins then maybe the crypto market would have a lot of bad issues.

This is very good news let alone Akon as a celebrity wanting to launch cryptocurency, we hope this become one of the growth factor of cryptocurency in a better direction and useful for many people not just for personal gain alone.

Amazing! this actually made day, The site for the new crypto coin states that an “Akon Crypto City” is in development on 2,000 acres of land that the rapper/singer was given by the president of Senegal and will be “a first of its kind 100% crypto-based city with Akoin at the center of transactional life.”
I love his vision, and I pray he succeeds. but my question is how will the project benefit Africans at large?
check out the official website https://www.akoin.io/

That will be so great. It will help the African continent as a whole as he said in the interview.

Many world celebrities create new coins, thus supporting the blockchain system and the whole cryptocurrency world. To help the underdeveloped countries is a good goal, so his coin will definitely be popular.  In Russia, for example, the stars of show business, such as Olga Buzova and Natalia Vodianova, develop their coins. It is very promising!

Really amazing, now African was really adopting cryptocurrency.
Yeah, I'm purely guessing that this coins have a pump and dump soon when it is launch in the market cap.
Well, as viewing to their site it looks like good and yesterday I saw this news on CNBC channel.
It is more attractive to investors because Akon is very well known he has many fans and followers.

[supernva]

I think that in few years all celebrities will have their own coin)

[richan]

So is he doing an ICO? 

Yes for sure, there will be offering public sales to raise funds for the akon city and his africa energy project. I am looking forward to his ICO and participate when it is lunch.

Oh that’s great that musician icon is launching a new cryptocurrency to advertise to have a new investors in new cryptocurrency industry and at the same to be helpful to the investors to earn income.

[sharkpc2000]

I don't discern reason these repute to endow so diverse altcoin, has cypher to do these coins and blockchain , so well-nigh of the day they infrequent hampioning bankroll, these tokens, without any meaning.

[aamjanta]

Egarly waiting to buy AKON crypto !!!!?

[tamango]

In my experience I don't like and trust projects that are sponsored by popular Artists.....it's better to check if there is a real need of a coin like this...

[chocopapaya]

Laughable.

...but, I guess kudos to him for sticking his neck out there even though it's obvious he doesn't know a damn thing about crypto and it's relationship to governments and fiat.

As far as security goes...does anyone think akoin will bring security?
That seems like the riskiest investment of all time that is doomed to fail.

Now that I think of it, isn't he acting a bit like the corrupt politicions he is criticizing?
Acting like he wants to help but actually he is selling Akon branded shitcoins?
Getting rich off of the masses?

Celebs, in my mind, are more dangerous to crypto than anything else.
They have so much publicity and sway in public opinion and can easily turn the tide against crypto because they don't know what they are talking about.

But, AKOIN to the moon! I guess...

The stars are trying to make money on their own behalf, I also noticed that now everyone goes to the crypto currency, people who have an audience, but who do not understand about crypto currency and how it's work
