Whales are people with large holdings in BTC..
Frankly the whales are not stupid. Anyone with half a brain knows BTC can not continue on its current path given it won't be worth anything to mine in the future if the ASIC arms race continues. :/

If a whale can make some money by moving the market with his large holdings, what is wrong with it?

By knocking it down too much. They should keep it fluctuating at a level. Even if they are manipulating the market, they should keep it at one price range. It was good when they kept it at $800 or $600 but now they keep sinking it slowly. People will lose trust in BTC. The Chinese will leave. The Chinese are driving the price up and the stupid western whales drive it down. At least keep it at $500!!

The problem is that they don't talk to each other, don't coordinate with each other, and don't even trust each other. If one of them sells, the others have no way of knowing if he's trying to crash the market, or just buying another Lamborghini.

I would doubt that they would ever attempt to collude with each-other like that. Doing so would be very risky not only from a profit prospective but also from a potentially having to go to jail for market manipulation perspective.

The protocol allows for this kind of messaging and once they know they are in the same boat (yacht in that case) it could become logic to not fight to each other, in that case trust should matter less than one may think

They aren't stupid. They are just taking advantage of the price and the small time holders to sell off when they feel that their holdings are crashing down in value. Usually, whales are the reason why there are ups and downs in the crypto markets. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

This. Without the poor, no riches. There must be contrast. Otherwise life is dull.

When whales dump, it means at least all these BTC are going in hands of other non whale people. It only takes these people to be intelligent and not panic sell at minimum fear.

In some years from now, the trading volumes will be so high that a whale alone won't change anything.

The strategy of whales dumping is to get other people to sell as well.... and then pick up btcs at a lower price.
