Machi Big Brother, however, quickly bought back 991 NFTs, prompting Thurman to speculate that it could be a play to either book some profits while also conducting one big wash trade to generate huge Blur AirDrop profits, or a pretty obvious market manipulation.
Machi is said to be one of the biggest recipients of the Sulieti [BLUR] token AirDrop from the NFT marketplace Blur, which recently surpassed OpenSea as the top-ranked NFT platform in terms of trading volume, according to Kopa.
On 14 February, the project began distributing its first round of airdrops to the community, with the number of tokens distributed based on the user’s level of platform engagement and Ethereum-based NFT trading activity.
Blur’s Value drops
On 17 February, blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intel tweeted that Machi received 1.8 million BLUR and cashed it out for $1.3 million. As a result, Machi could earn some new BLUR tokens in the next round by increasing NFT trading activity, while other whales may do the same.
Machibigbrother received 1.8M $BLUR yesterday. That was over a $1M at the time of the drop, and around $1.8M now.

Kaip per duomenys collected from NFT Price Floor, the floor prices of top collections that Machi initially dumped have dropped 7.77%, 9.2%, and 8.16% in the last 24 hours, respectively.
In a subsequent post, Thurman noted:
“One man’s quest for an airdrop is wrecking some markets.”
The price of BLUR was $0.84 at the time of writing. This price showed a drop of 40% in the last seven days.
Moreover, the Blur team paskelbė this week that the project will soon AirDrop $300 million in tokens in its second round.
