Starting from 1000 coins in my opinion.

not now, maybe before with 1200 in price

i also think around 10k coin, but without being too precisely, we can say that 5k would make you a whale already

I'd say the equivalent in BTC of $5-10M.

1000 BTC as of today is a whale.



But one day it will be 10,000 BTC...

At least equivalent to $1 million USD, currently about 3,700 BTC. You could set up a nice wall with $1 million, but now even walls of that size can get eaten up pretty quick during a strong run.  Five figures of coins, would be pretty solid and have the ability to manipulate the market a bit.

I never claimed to be a whale or that I was trying to become one...just wondered what people thought since that term is used so often on here.

OP its too late to become a whale anyway, only if you were an early early adopter you could become a whale without being Bill Gates.

...how many bitcoins do you need to possess? Just curious what people's thoughts are.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I think with 5-6k bitcoin you will become a "whale" and start to manipulate some altcoin easily and make the pump/dump scheme. However also with 1'000 bitcoin we are able to be a whale.


in altcoin scene some 100's or even less is enough to play the pump and dump game as protagonist.

In BTC scene some millions.

More or less millions depending where you wanna play

It depends of which altcoin are you talking about, maybe with the shitcoin it is needed a few bitcoin something like 5-10 btc for manipulate the price; but for the big altcoins you need at least 100-200 btc as you said.

However I am sure (as said before) for become a bitcoin whale you need at least 5000 bitcoins.

I would say that someone with >1000 bitcoins is a whale.
With 4 figures it is noticeable on exchanges when they are all parked at a certain price. With a global supply of 14mil coins it is 1/14,000th of the total money supply, that is a big lump of a currency.

10,000btc is a super whale in my opinion, I doubt there are too many people out there with 10k coins that are hot stored.

To become a whale ...

You just need to believe in yourself, formulate a plan, and follow through with it.  If you believe you can do something you can.

Faith alone is not enough. And to become real player you will have to obtain more than 10.000 BTC. With less you are hardly doing enough to influence market even on small level. So I would say 10k is enough to be a whale.

1000 coins is nothing in the grand scheme of things. You would need at least solid 6 figures to create a small trend then hope people follow.

With 50 BTC you can already do quite some movement on the market.
But to be a whale, I'd say that you need at least 200 BTC.
