After an investor has determined their own risk tolerance and found projects they believe they can trust it is time to use the resources available to make an impact. This impact can be directed specifically towards the NFT community or more broadly for the global good. The primary question that should be asked at this point is what good can be done with the trust and authority that comes from being an investor and prominent community member. Three reasons why investors could use their influence to make a difference in their chosen communities are:

1. Social impact investing can lead to financial returns: By investing in businesses or organizations that are aligned with their values and that are working to solve social problems, investors can not only make a positive impact, but also potentially earn a significant financial return. For example, an investor who supports education initiatives might invest in a company that provides affordable online learning resources, and this investment could yield a profit as well as improve access to education.

2. Investment can create positive ripple effects in the community: When investors support community created businesses and derivative projects, they can help stimulate the economy of their chosen project and create jobs both within and without the Web3 space, which can have a positive impact on the community as a whole. For example, investing in a small business that provides Solidity development training and job placement services can support the community as a whole and help reduce unemployment in the offline realm, while also providing income and employment opportunities for people in the community.

3. Investment can support social change: By using their influence to invest in projects that are working to address pressing social issues, investors can help drive change and make a meaningful difference in the world. For example, an investor who is concerned about affordable housing might choose to invest in a project that develops fractional ownership contracts for low-income housing, contributing to the goal of ensuring that everyone has a place to call home.

In summary, using their influence to make a difference in their communities can be a rewarding and impactful way for investors to align their values with their investments, potentially earn financial returns, and create positive social change.
