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/HERTlVMd1QIHe'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.
If Akon were to create his own coin, he should follow suit with R & B singer Jason Derulo in GCOX. Of course, I love Akon's music until now. Good thing that he is a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advocate, and I strongly believe that others will be following suit as well.
Like Electroneum for example, it was already accepted in South Africa for buying mobile load, etc. The power of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lies on their blockchain and real use cases. Despite that other countries disapprove Bitcoin, they would eventually understand later on and may be left behind in the economy if they do not adopt or ride on with the others.
