"Most of the time, these coins do not have a real product backing up their value leaving fans who actually buy these coins spending money for no real reason. If you check out Idol Network https://www.idol.network. it is built for celebrities to create their own coins and fans can buy celebrity coins for a REAL purpose like going to exclusive parties, backstage passes or VVIP seatings at concerts.

That is always the problem and the fact remains that without a real life product, it would just be as useless as any other shit garbage coin in the market. It is not just about creating a coin and thinking it would just have a future because being an artist can drive fans to it, how long will it end up sustained without taking a hit eventually.
The only thing that can keep it going in the long run is real demand for the solution it creates, and no matter how it gets to be driven speculatively, it would never last.

After three months I haven't seen this Akoin token launch here in Bitcointalk I did not know either that he is into cryptocurrency, it's a good move if he is the ceo, he can promote it in his tour, but I have to see it here first before I can decide if it's worth to promote or invest here, could be another pump and dump coin in the making

Good news for Bitcoin, for bringing together the Music industry with Bitcoin and I know how popular AKON is in the music world.

And he can also make positive news on Bitcoin, then can raise the price of Bitcoin also on the market.

I only see this having something to do with the cryptocurrency space in general and not just bitcoin but at least such a move is good for cryptocurrency publicity.

It is not a bad idea for him as long as the coin can have a product attached to it, or some sort of solution the project backing the coin would bring about and asides that, I do not see any reason why it would not just end up being another speculative shitcoin in the market. However, like I said, it is good for publicity.

I believe he only promoted not built or become investor. Project use him because have high popularity, it will raise investment and create members in high quantity. Don't see the star but see about the project ( coin ), have good concept, great developer team, realistic target, they have it or just ads?. Find the true information, think twice before join and good luck to you.

When the ICO is a show business star, then certainly you should not expect anything good from the project. It is more interesting for me to invest in ICO, where there are talented programmers, not singers. So, I'll pass by.

Okay,,, I do not really mind Akon, I think his music is really something to gain a taste for,,, but I wonder when this thing about musicians and artists getting involved with cryptocurrency will stop. Maybe never, until people are bored with it. No coin has become good because of an artist, in fact, already have scams because of artists so this should be a warning sign.

Intentions are good, yes,,, but you do not need crypto for everything.

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!

Buzova didn't create any coins. She was made the face of this project whose goal is to make money quickly. The real organizers stayed in the shadows.

I do not think investors from the acoins will be many, limited only from fans of akon and possibly other African communities. but we have to think positively, because the purpose of akon is humanity and maybe there will be many others who want to join.

I think it is nothing but earning some free money from perspective of Akon.Few celebrities were involved with cryptocurrency and crypto promotion before but it didn't work for the company.I think it is more important to create quality project rather than this celebrity shit otherwise it won't be good for crypto community.

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...

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/

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.

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.

Well, I am not so sure if he would be able to make his Akoin work but I admire that he has big ambitions as to why the coin will be made. The only question I have is this, Africa is BIG. Where will he start and in what way his coin would help Africa? I would say he could start with Zimbabwe's currency problem. And oh, I really wanted to get my hands on those 100 Trillion Zimbabwe dollar notes. Haha.

With the history of African currencies getting devalued by external manipulators, I can understand the drive behind this one, but will there be a major technology gap for those who are less fortunate to actually use this coin?
