There’s been some confusion around whether Acorns, the micro investment app, has its own currency. Short answer: no.

But here’s where it gets fun:
AkoinAkon’s crypto project meant to power his futuristic smart city, Akon City, in Senegal.
ACORN (2010)A proposal for an “Alternative Currency for Oakland Residents and Neighbors.” It was envisioned as an electronic debit card system for local spending, not a physical token.
AcornsJust an investment service no token, no blockchain, no city.
Three very different projects, all orbiting the same oak/acorn branding growth, community, roots, money.
Makes me wonder: do these “natural” symbols get recycled in finance because they resonate with the idea of slow, steady growth? Or is it just lazy marketing?
I think this is better placed in ~lol
