What makes you a whale?

Some projects have only 1M tokens, i think having 100k tokens makes you a whale.

You need atleast 50 BTC up to be called a whale,because if you have 50BTC you can pump a shitcoin and take profits in it then go out when you have good profits.

i agree with you need a lot of BTC to manipulate a specific coin for you to become a whale.

Just curious. How much money do you need to be classified as a whale??  

Skilled traders and business millionaires are considered to be a whale but a group of them because each millionaire cannot manipulate the trade and it must be a group.
When they decided to manipulate the coin to make it on the top like what they did in Bitcoin last 8 years ago and Bitcoin Cash like late October this year then it's possible to make make it happen again for any other coins.

Anyone who has an ability to create a fluctuation in market trend can be called as a whale. Probably he\she can be a long time holder from the beginning.
If that person just made a release or dump those it will affect market. It still depends how you describe to be a whale. It may be who holds 50+ or 500+ btc.
