Its fund will help to build a smart city of 2000 acres that is 'Akon crypto city'
This land was given by the president of Senegal.
Akon said ' I think that blockchain and crypto could be the savior for Africa in many ways because it brings the power back to the people and brings the security back into the currency system and also allows the people to utilize [sic] it in ways where they can advance themselves and not allow government to do those things that are keeping them down'.
