There are no definite amounts for you to be considered a whale but one thing is for sure, you have to own a substantial amount of Bitcoin so as to affect the Bitcoin market when you decide to sell your Bitcoins or when you are eager to buy a huge share in the availability of Bitcoins in circulation.
Whales, as used in this business, can either be people, partnership, corporation or any entity, that owns a substantial amount of Bitcoin. Generally, they are into Bitcoin because they would like to influence the market when they buy and sell for their own benefit.
