RE: Can we precisely define the term "Whale" on the POB Platform ?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Really there is no precise definition of the whale on the #hive.
This statement is totally wrong
Hive whale is the one who holds at least 1000 MVests. It was described in taskmasters's post half a year ago, here
As of today, on HIVE whale's minimum is 519888 Hive. Other levels:
With the same proportions, on POB the equivalent level today would be 597 POB's , or the same 0.1312% from the total POB circulating supply
With the current inflation, it will double (to 1200 POB) in the next two month, and triple in four month (1760 POB's)
One year from now, POB whale will need to own 4045 POB tokens, and minimum ~8000 by May 1, 2023
It just shows HOW EARLY we all are in the POB space.

Wow this has made the definition so simple. @onealfa.leo you really made everyone mentioned in these lists as the super-whales. This is now becoming really exciting. Anybody with just 597 POB is whale today, but what is more interesting is how many of them really hold back as the whale after a year when lot of investors would have been added and some may have slowed in the process of acquiring the same stakes as they have today.
Great perspective to notice for those following along. I think this highlights even further how important distribution is in the early stages and how developing a strong "middle-class" for POB will keep the user experience fulfilling as time progresses.
By these numbers, all that are above 597POB are whales ... But who will continue to raise their value to follow this arduous path
This explains it all, this is a great way to break it down. Definitely I’m a whale presently, that’s nice.
Thank you for highlighting this. I probably had a different calculation. I considered 8000 POB power for the current period (instead of May 2023) thinking that 597 is a too small amount for someone to be called as a whale. However, technically you are right. If we go by the value of 597 POB power then we already have more than 84 whales on this platform.
This is perfect!
