Stellar (XLM)-based Akoin will be sole-currency of a multi-billion dollar city in Kenya

The grammy-award winning artist and producer Akon has secured a major deal for his cryptocurrency project Akoin which will make it the official currency of a burgeoning tech hub in Kenya... See more for yourself here.

Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Akoin may be shortened to be an African coin because Kenya is on the African continent.
But this Akoin might also be designed for something special for African countries, including Kenya and other countries throughout the African Continent.

Kenya will be grateful for this because cryptocurrency will really be accepted in African countries, although this Akoin is included in the Sellar network which is less popular when compared to networks from Ethereum.

The progress of the African country has now been tested by creating a lot of cryptocurrency.
I also often hear that crytptocurrency is now widely used in South Africa, including in the ranks of known coins such as Bitcoin Cash ABC.

Akoin will also shine if in Kenya has a traffic for Akoin and Akoin is able to have uses in the real world such as agriculture, industry or animal husbandry in Kenya.

I think this Stellar is too ambitious to create a more popular Akoin in Africa, because this Stellar does not see the superiority of Ethereum and Ripple which are at the level above.
Akoin might be favored in Africa but maybe Africans also trust Ethereum and RIpple for their investment compared to Akoin.

Maybe this Stellar is more confident because Akoin is a coin in the network, it is definitely different from Ethereum and Ripple who have their own blockchain.
