What is a whale?

Hi all,

So, in case you are wondering where my name comes from. Here is a term for whales, from Saddington .

"A whale is someone who owns a lot of cryptocurrency," Saddington says. "According to statistics and the addresses that you can find online — because bitcoin isn't truly anonymous; you can actually find the whales — these are the people who own a ton of bitcoin. We're talking about like hundreds of thousands of bitcoin or more."

If a "whale" sells a lot of their stake, it can cause the price of a cryptocurrency to dip by flooding supply, he explains.
