So quite easy to predict the Monero price based on what a few whales are doing and all via Poloniex? That explains why on the price chart there are never any big movements, the whale's buy walls moving up and down are too big for lots of small users. And it suggests XMR distribution is a few mega-whales and lots of small holders, but I haven't seen any stats on what XMR distribution actually looks like?
I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing, but if the part about being "quite easy to predict" where true then you should making a lot of money trading Monero, right?
I don't really see a good case that Monero is more influenced by whales than any other coin. They all have their whales.
