Are there any Whales in Monero?
Maybe, but the term is used so readily. Mark Karpeles was a Whale, someone that could affect big markets on a whim (or scam).
Maybe these Whales spoken of today are people with a fair amount of money, but really nothing more than sharks in a big pack.
This thread stays on 4 pages forever. i wonder why?
A whale in Monero would be one with at least 50k XMR, we have about 7-10 such players. Monero differs from some coins in that for the big holders Monero is still a portfolio investment, they have not gotten "rich" via Monero. They were wealthy, and put the required
BTC200 and now own Monero. If you are dev-rich, you don't have other wealth and are not a "whale".
Bitcoin is bigger than the players. Monero, at least now, is smaller than many people who are playing it. That makes it interesting.
like party for greedy people? I guess this is a project for people that made money by doing nothing very much in 2011.
