Akon is not only taking responsibility for the infrastructural future of Africa--Akon is involving himself in the cryptocurrency/blockchain industry too.

Introducing : Akoin (https://www.akoin.io/)

Akoin is a project backed by Akon, who has focused his business ventures on the country of Africa as mentioned previously. Taken from his akoin's official homepage : "The Akoin Ecosystem unlocks the potential of the world's largest emerging economy through the creation of a trusted cryptocurrency with a vision to stimulate and innovate, revenue-generating opportunities that support and empower youth entrepreneurship, economic stability, and growth across Africa and the world" (akoin.io).

Akoin dives deep even on its homepage providing viewers with a solid, and significant roadmap (if implemented as planned of-course). With a marketplace, exchange, and solid marketing campaign facilitating a 'trusted currency (akoin), the cryptocurrency may provide 'real-world' value and facilitation of significant infrastructure unseen in the 'crypto sphere' (to-date).
