        On the more serious note, the whale is someone who has accumulated a lot of STEEM POWER compared to other users in the blockchain. Often they are early adaptors of the Steem network.

            A whale in a nutshell is someone with influence.
            They have a lot of steam power and can make someone gain a lot in just one upvote and in turn cause a lot of other users to want to jump in and share in the quality of the whales upvote.
