A small japanese village named, Nishiawakura is making their economy much more beneficial with the help of cryptocurrencies by launching a Initial Coin Offering. I think it is a best way to help some small villages to grow up with really good profits and also it might bring the cryptocurrencies some more close to legalisation.
The village is home of approximately 1500 villagers and and they unveiled their plans to launch a regional initial coin offering.

How is that going to strengthen their economy? Most ICOs these days are now regarded as scam, so not everyone is interested in putting their money in ICOs. So these people are going to find it difficult.
And I dont really fancy the idea of relying on cryptocurrencies to strengthen the economy of a country, while there are many other way much better ways that you can make use of just farming. Farming can help them go a long way than cryptocurrency can do. Just my own opinion.
