August 2017, Nipsey Hussle bought ownership stake in cryptocurrency company Follow Coin.

Cryptocurrency is a digital currency in which encryption techniques regulate the generation of units of currency and verify the transfer of funds without the use of a central bank.

Nipsey is no stranger to technology. Today he is a leader in indigenous technology companies.

Last year Nipsey began opening “Too Big To Fail,” a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) center and Maker Space that encourages design thinking and innovation in local youth. In partnership with Vector90, they create impact hubs where neighborhood youth can feed off of each other’s talent, creativity, and support.

The type of leadership Nipsey Hussle demonstrates is what we should see from all of our leaders with huge followings. Nipsey’s actions create real change and advancements in our communities.
