What do we think about the impact of private NFT sales? 

When a buyer stays anonymous in a space driven by active community engagement and network effects, does it enhance value through scarcity—or disrupt the cultural connections that make NFTs thrive?

if anon artists are part of the culture in crypto, why would anon buyers be excluded from the culture in crypto?

Another question worth asking:

Does the lack of transparency with « anonymous » collectors increase the risk of fake sales and bags pumping?

A collector is a collector, that's a win. The only real concern is that one can suspect the artist or someone else to wash trade to artificially inflate financial interest in said artist, without even having to fake a money transaction.

If remains occasional I’m cool with it. I think anonymity is a little different to privacy and I can see how, at times, privacy can be desired.

If buyers who want to buy it anon can't, would they then not buy?
