#VIRTUALWhale Whales are nothing more than investors with large sums of crypto at their disposal.
Virtual whales, on the other hand, are automated.
However, the fact remains that they are the ones who move the market by making disproportionate sales and purchases and making crypto easy or difficult to buy and sell.
I don't know if they are the only ones who are called whales, but there are certainly cases in which mountains of money have been earned with a single operation.
