When people say whales are “taking your money secretly,” they often refer to how large, wealthy investors or players manipulate markets or gaming systems to their advantage, often in a way that can be difficult for smaller participants to detect.

1. In financial markets:

• Stock Market Manipulation: In the stock market, “whales” (wealthy investors or institutions) can make large trades that move prices in their favor. For example, they can accumulate a large position in a stock, driving the price up, then sell it off when the price rises, leaving smaller investors who bought late with losses.

• Cryptocurrency Market: In crypto, whales can make large trades or “pump and dump” schemes where they inflate the price of a coin and then sell off, causing the price to crash, hurting smaller investors.

2. In gaming (especially free-to-play or online games):

• Microtransactions: In mobile or online games, “whales” are players who spend large sums of money on in-game purchases, often helping the game developer earn most of its revenue. This can lead to an imbalance where free or low-spending players are disadvantaged because they can’t keep up with the paid advantages whales enjoy.

Both of these examples show how whales can have outsized influence, potentially causing others to lose money or enjoy less favorable outcomes. The process may seem “secret” because most people don’t see the influence whales have until it’s too late.
