That is probably what is happening, we all know how the OpenSea admitted that they are doing inside trading with promoted NFTs, because they were caught right handed. Who know what other dirty stuff is happening behind the closed doors over there.
The volume and money which is turning around NTF space is just too big to not take advantage at.
You have a point. To think that there are no anomalies in an NFT space where big cash is flowing is somehow not possible. What else can we do?
Let's just hope that is something that won't lead to a much worst situation.
This NFT craze will be hype for a long, therefore, taking advantage of it will be run for long too.
