That’s who backs the dollar.” AKoin In the same interview, Akon went onto talk about his African cryptocurrency dubbed, AKoin.  The goal of this crypto coin is to “unlock the potential of the world’s largest emerging economy through the creation of a stable currency and innovative, revenue-generating opportunities that stimulate and support youth entrepreneurship, economic stability, and growth across Africa and the world”.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
