Crypto Heidi: Ryan Scott @ Akoin: Africa is the Next Billion Consumers
Ryan Scott, CEO and Co-founder of Akoin, is working on a DApp ecosystem for African entrepreneurs.
African entrepreneurs will learn about Akoin through their partnership with Akoin. One of the fouders, Akon has tremendous reach in Africa.
Akoin has partnered with a lot of blockchain based apps that help young entrepreneurs across the entire continent. And so the entrepreneurs will be able to access them through the promotion that they do and use even their coin, it's called Akoin, where users can get it in and out at local places where to top up minutes.
Young entrepreneurs and developers can build applications and distribute them through the Akoin app store. That's one way that entrepreneurs can benefit from it. Another is that the applications themselves have benefits for young entrepreneurs, whether it's in education, or financial inclusion, or actually literally earning money for doing things in the community.
Ryan said he thinks Africa is the next billion consumers. "Half the population in Africa is under the age of about 20. Wow. So you've got a lot of young energy and you've got a lot of creativity and talent that's looking for, you know, opportunities and, you know, using cryptocurrency, we can kind of bust out of the old models."
