Akon has been the newest figure in show business to join the Blockchain ecosystem, announcing its own cryptocurrency, the Akoin. Apparently, this decision seeks to support the initiative Lightning Africa led by the singer, and whose goal is to improve living conditions in the African continent.
The information was known during an intervention by the artist during the Cannes Lions 2018 forum, where he stated:
“I think that blockchain and cryptocurrencies could be the saviors of Africa in many ways, because it gives back power to people and brings back security to the monetary system and also allows people to use it so that they can move forward and not allow the government make the things that keep them limited."
Also, Akon added that, as part of Lightning Africa, between its plans is also the creation of a 'one hundred percent' cryptographic city with 810 hectares of land admitted by the government of Senegal, specifically five minutes from the international airport, near from Dakar, the capital of the singer's native country.

I was surprised by the news when I heard it, The singer is getting into blockchain technology because He has got to know the good news about it, But some tech gurus say negative about blockchain technology. But I don't think the Akoin is launched yet, is it?

Very good news if the African country uses blockchain technology. this will help the economic growth and progress of the country. investors will be interested if there is a new project that exists in african countries with large land and large market interest.
