Crypto Glossary

This week we are going to explain the term, Fish/ Minnow. Different from a Whale, a fish/ minnow refers to someone with small amounts of cryptocurrency who has little influence on the crypto market and price movements. This person is often at the mercy of Whales. However, a Fish/ Minnow can change its “fate”, evolving into a Dolphin and even a Whale with increasing holdings.
