Whales are people who either came here among the first and made ridiculous amounts of STEEM or rich people who bought STEEM, when you have a lot of STEEM, you can buy STEEM POWER which gives your upvotes bigger value - everyone around here wants to be upvoted by a whale so they can get 1000s of dollars for a post.
Hope that helps :)
