| Video Discription | The Senegalese-American singer, Akon, who enjoyed great success in the 2000s, is no longer totally in music today, but rather in technology. Akon will build his own city "Akon City", a Senegal-based city whose economy will run solely on the cryptocurrency "Akoin". A native of St. Louis, in the US state of Missouri, Akon grew up in Dakar, where he was immersed in music thanks to a percussion Zionist father. Like four in ten Sene ga lais today, Akon's family lived without access to electricity. It was at the age of 7 that he returned to the United States and settled there. But Akon has never forgotten his homeland, even after reaching the heights of show business. Music having been for him a tool of emancipation, he decided to use his notoriety to help autonomisation of Africa. He created his company,"Akon Lighting Africa", which provides small-scale solar power solutions to 18 African countries. It was later that he launched a beta version of Akoin and his joint projects allow him to be even more ambitious. For him, Akoin is only the first step towards the construction of his future city which will emerge in Senegal. The Akon Crypto City adventure began in June 2018. On the occasion of the International Festival of creativity in Cannes, Akon revealed a far-reaching project: the creation of a crypto mon naie, the akoin, which he thinks could become "the savior of Africa for many. respects ", in the sense that it could empower African youth and support the pre-novice. This virtual currency, already released, was designed on the model of its well-established big sisters, bitcoin or ethe reum to name a few, with some slight adjustments. According to Akon, the platform is designed to be global, but it targets Africa in particular, because that is where the needs are greatest. And what's more, Akon believes it will give Africa back not only its resources, but also its ideas. Akon and his teams started with a simple observation: they found that over 60% of Africans are under 25, and that the vast majority do not belong to any bank; they mostly depend on their smartphones to do everything. Africa has 6 of the 10 fastest growing economies. According to Akon, by 2034, the African continent is expected to have the largest working-age population - 1.1 billion people. Thus, Akoin could quickly reach the whole continent, without being confined to Senegal. Thanks to this crypto currency, users will be able to buy, keep or spend akoins between parties without going through a central body, as the CFA franc does for example. This allows citizens first of all to be more independent during the very fluctuating African monetary systems. This virtual currency also makes it possible to gain transparency, because the author of “Locked Up” wants to contribute to the fight against malfeasance. Akon said the biggest problem on the continent has always been corruption; that the latter is the reason why the continent was never built to be super power. Blockchain tech no lo gy makes it possible to offer a more transparent system and thus bring more security in the monetary system. And for more advantage, it is with an application for telephone, a tool of transaction widespread on the African continent, that the users will be able to exchange akoins. In Africa, the use of "mobile banking" is currently more prevalent than ever, because in fact, the population tends more to trust mobile operators than in currencies for their banking operations. taking over for a decade from banks to transfer money via a simple SMS. With Akoin, by carrying out transactions without intermediaries, the Sene gaiies could profit from negligible transaction costs: as many of his compatriots had grown weary of ineffectiveness in the financial sector, Akon has withdrawn the fees charged by financial institutions and intends to begin to change this behavior. It will be located near Mbodiène, a coastal village; and will be a futuristic, fully green and sustainable city. Akon wants to provide Africa with a style of its own, like the great megalopolises of the world such as London, New York or Dubai, cities with their own building and architecture. Akon City will have everything of a big city: a police station, a barracks, parks, hotels, restaurants, a stadium, a medical center, a university, an educational center but also film studios.
