I wanted to provide my very brief outlook in regards to the common term 'Bitcoin Whales'
There is no question there are big players in this section that have the means to move price, however i feel many traders who lose their money regardless of the investment like to blame someone else for their misfortune.
If you consistently become frustrated with losing and feel it is due to others having a control of your destiny then i would look at other financial investments that are less likely to be controlled by a handful of sources.
The other is risk management, don't be dragged into the market due to the infatuation of becoming the next rags to riches story, if you are so worried about a position then it's likely your risk exceeds your threshold of being comfortable.
Of course this is a deep subject and something i will address very soon however I hope the above helps a little.
Take care.
