          nVidia simply noticed that enough people were willing to pay the absolutely ridiculously inflated prices scalpers were demanding and realized they could skip the middleman and reap the profits themselves. Crypto and COVID might have been how they found that out, but the lack of competition is the reason they are getting away with it.
