Based on a report by news site Nairametrics, the amount of Bitcoin whales are steadily increasing and now the number stands at about 1,800 people. "Whale" here is defined as individual who have more than 1,000 Bitcoins. The increase of whale population is a good indication that demands for bitcoin is still high. Whales are able to manipulate the price too. They minimize the chance of bearish market by holding a large amount of bitcoins, reducing the circulation of bitcoins in the market, thus raising its price due to scarcity of supply.
