What does it mean to be a "Whale" and why do you care?

I think the whales do a lot for the community. They have huge stakes, meaning they have a lot of faith in the project.

They help to evenly distribute the token on the blockchain, basically ensuring everyone benefits from the blockchain.

I do not care much about being a whale, it is a lot of work and I am going to stick with you under "reasonable stake". I just want to engage, learn, give back to the community and just do my bit.
