What has the market got to do with respecting anyone, of course it's not going to respect anyone and will show kindness to anyone who can read the market correctly, but the market side is on a whales you can make an impact on the market, I have seen it happens on many coins, because of the whales trading movement, they drop and they surge the market, so people should watch out for the whale's moves.
You have a good point in there but for me the whales are not the real Gods in the market. Yeah they can influence the chart due to their huge holdings but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are now invulnerable. Of course they are, like most of us
. Simply because there is not only one whale. They are many as well (but not as many as the small hodlers) and the moves of one another can significantly affect them. They are not as invincible as you think, they also need to be very careful because
losses excuses no one.
