Topic: 😳 Popular Singer Akon to Launch his Own Cryptocurrency 😳 - page 2. (Read 253 times)
Well to be honest he should not launch his own coin rather he can invest in btc and ether and show his support and also maybe accept them as payment option for his concerts and music releases.
I think he can do more with his money. Let's see what actually happens with this new currency
He is too late, cryptocurrency is not booming now 
Seriously, I think that all this coins from pop-stars is really useless and it worths 0$

Hm, lets see what it is really. Many times such false news and more or less publicity stunts have been performed in the past which failed eventually. I mean though they are big singers and stuff then also they need to follow proper protocol of creating the ICO's. I mean they should tell us what exactly their project is and how they are going to work around it. If they really making something useful then only people will take interest otherwise it will be just fans who will follow this guy and no one. At least as an Investor I will need to see my whitepaper and roadmap as usual.
It is very possible that celebrities decide to launch their own cryptocurrency, because they have a great community behind them. With the power of their community they can do a lot and the interest of them can make the cryptocurrency very successful.
A renowned celebrity, like Akon will automatically generate a buzz in the market. Since he is a good public figure, given how much he has invested in charity, people will automatically have the trust in his coins which will be in the crypto currency market. This is indeed a good move.
I think it's unrealistic, because what's the point of these tokens?
I think ICO and blockchain are not omnipotent, so they can't solve all the problems.

The cryptocurrency will be called Akoin. And not only is Akon planning to launch the cryptocurrency Akoin, he also aims to build his own Crypto City in Senegal, media reports said.
I wonder what they mean by 'building a crypto city'? I have nothing against this project, everybody is allowed to do whatever they want in that regard. Unless it's a scam ofc.
That said, I don't think that an ICO will be the end all solution to poverty and world hunger.
this will just be another ico flop why do you think a singer will be even able to code a working blockchain projet at all ? He is just there for promotion and has no clue about crypto
Geez. I would really like to see developments in Africa but I don't think launching an ICO for the cause is the right way. I hope they don't end up using the money for themselves, that would be so damned evil.

Akoin’s official website called it a unique global project that offers an abundance of digital and in-real-life platforms and experiences that create opportunity and inclusion for youth entrepreneurs. “Consumers will also be able to engage with AKoin in an entirely new way when they visit the real-life Wakanda (East-African country) of Akon Crypto City,” the website said.
You know it's unrealistic when they mentioned Wakanda lol. 
Just yesterday read this article and he is going to build a new city. It sounds certainly very strange, but it looks very good, because this person really has a lot of money and I will not be surprised after he can do it.
Sounds like he's just a front to help with advertising, wouldn't invest in anything 'created' or marketed by some celebrity.
I'm pretty sure he will launch an Ico to enrich himself even more, we all know that celebrity-backed coins are not going to stand a chance to coders and developers backed coins, he should be prepare to pay coders and good developers his celebrity status is not a guaranty of success.
He actually has a quite different propose. He's going to invest it in Africa, a place with high potential but low investment.
With Akon and other celebrities involved, it would be successful to attract attention towards cryptocurrency and Africa.

It gives me a headache.
The overall market is not doing well, and it's not good news to see so many useless tokens.
