Just wanted to create a thread on this and if anyone has heard from reliable sources, of well known people who have knowledge in blockchain technology that are recently undertaking new projects in cryptocurrency.

The well know star Akon is going to launch his own coin this year.
He'll be issuing an ICO to fund his project to finance infrastructure in Africa.
Guess the name of coin?

This year alone a lot of celebrities are endorsing crytpocurrencies for their brands and project. A typical example is Akon, America pop star which lunches Akoin as the monetary currency for his energy city project.

I have heard many celebrities talking about Bitcoin in the past, for example Ashton Kutcher seems quite interested about it and seems to have some knowledge about it past the most standard "i've heard it's digital money" thing.

Rappers like Snopp Dogg and 50 Cent have claimed to own some.

And then we've had other clueless celebrities tricked into advertising ICO scams like Floyd Mayweather or Kate Perry.

Yes Akoin token presented by AKON has been trending for couple of weeks now and we can only hope that more celebrities have intentions of making cryptocurrency known to the universe.

Lets all hope for the success of every altcoin as we eliminate every scam tokens.
This thread will really be beneficial

Thanks.

Celebraties around the globe might be using bitcoin and other digital currencies, but it is not much known to the outer world. As the market for bitcoin keeps increasing more people too has begun to use bitcoin. One thing specific is that Celebraties usage will easily make common people follow them.

I never buy celebrity and altcoin tokens, which are also called Fiat tokens. For me it is a signal that in addition to the name of these projects there is nothing more to offer. Celebrities can't answer for their actions because they're like prostitutes. Who will pay them that and praise. How can you trust advertising with people like that?

The only celebrities I've seen talking about crypto are guys in the tech or finance industry.  Warren Buffet is heavily against bitcoin which should be expected as he stands to lose a lot of money from its' success.

I did see some celebrities promoting ICO scams though.  They weren't interested in crypto, they just promoted it for the money.  I remember Floyd Mayweather, T.I, Paris Hilton , and Dj Khaled all promoting an ICO this past year.

Good day. Yes I've seen a few celebrities joining crypto recently. Even here in the Philippines and more likely there are some abroad too. Some projects are hiring them for more popularity and to entice more investors for celebrities can create a huge impact on a project. Its healthy for crypto I think. The more people who knows about crypto the more investors will join.

Indeed many world celebrities who know the world of crypto but they are only limited subject to be involved to be able to promote the project and seek personal gain, but not directly into a team or dev who plunge to take care and develop the platform well.  With his name already fame certainly many people who are more interested and believe. This way the project can work.
