Well, i have to say i have never liked this "whale" talk for some reason, i think it is because i feel it offending for a person who made his balance big thanks to his hard work! I know many people who claims that most of big players here got it from inheritence, or won lottery: It is stupid!
They were doing mistakes but that led them to money - so tell me why YOU can't do the same thing?
Start making great posts, do hard work for yourself, and maybe you will get there too ?
