People in general think whales are the ones who manipulate the market and take all the money from them, while it's actually the exchanges!

When you "bet on futures," perhaps you are buying because you think the price will go up. The moment you click buy, the exchange itself opens a sell position with the same amount that you opened. It's actually the big whales who are giving you "fish" from time to time. Sometimes, the exchanges don't have as much amount as the whales do to cover the opposite position against whales, so the exchanges are losing.

Stop hating on whales! they are the ones who are giving opportunities to the big sharks and hamsters in the market."
