You could mint it if you are early, and that whitelisted early minted type of people will end up selling it for higher. What they can do afterwards is unknown to me as well but getting sold out is guaranteed because of the price situation. If you can mint something for x amount and then sell it for 2x amount, you would do that too, and that much is known, it will be higher priced.
You are right, always out of sheer relevance, what is sought is to make some profit, there are many things that they say about NFTs, but some think that NFTs are only applicable to games, where there is no type of backup and that offers insecurity, here it is different, here is the reputation of an entire platform, of a recognized site and that everyone bets on and has an excellent reputation, if you win here I think that your NFT victory x2, x3 I think that it can be guaranteed depending on the owner or hodler make your respective move, and this does provide the security that many games did not provide in 2021.
