Akon talks about bitcoin and educate others; very good
Akin intends to start his own coin; please don't do that.
Starting a coin because you like bitcoin no it's not what's going to support bitcoin. Entrepreneurs should cut cryptocurrency some slack. Don't start up a coin because you see the cash rewards it might get

Everyone wants to make their own cryptocurrency, but what's the point? If they don't invest enough in her she'll just drown

Akon, popular personality who is known to the world through his songs and music now opens about the needs of bitcoin and briefs more about it on an interview to the Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM. That's really interesting to watch his interview where he gives clear answers with comparison to the dollar. Here's the link to the video https://youtu.be/HERTlVMd1QI

He's praised a king by African people. He has turned himself to be an entrepreneur, and he'll do good to Africa with cryptocurrency which might enrich the usage and adoption of bitcoin. Even now there is good acceptance for bitcoin in Africa, and what he has initiated through his own coin could make more popular people get into cryptocurrency network.

I think he planned it long ago, I'm not saying it's good or bad but it's another free money creation on the internet by a celebrity, there are a lot of coins named after a celebrity, but they are not managed by a celebrity where they are named and they are all gone, Akon, if he wants to make it successful, should have a concept and can keep it up for long term, the competition is very hard compared two years ago

So.. if I found the right website, Akon is creating his own coin, Akoin. From their website[1]: "AKOIN IS THE EXCLUSIVE CURRENCY OF THE AKOIN ECOSYSTEM". Great, another unnecessary coin. I'm not saying that Akon is a bad person, but if he really wanted to help, pretty much every use-case indicated on their website can already be done using BTC and ETH. I'm guessing that some people just proposed this idea to Akon and asked for permission to use his name. Pretty much the same with Manny Pacquiao's PAC token.

Agreed, already there were more coins based on personalities. Some even created by them as they're good at programming. There needs to be some use case that is unique to get good value to the project and the coin. Here the coin might get popularity as it is named based on his name, but when it comes to use case and growth it won't attract good investors choose it.
