The base is 180 million MAUs as of December 2017, and they're not growing as fast as other messaging services have in the past (in Feb 2016 they had 100 million MAUs, so in just under two years that's ~80% growth).
So yes, they have a large base of pre-existing users. But I don't think it is clear that this base of users is going to continue to grow exponentially, and they're not growing as fast as they arguably should be.
- chaostheory 9y agoI feel that its actual potential utility as a crypto currency platform is more important than its current position as an IM platform. A better argument would be to point out what happened with Kik
- skinnymuch 9y agoThat seems like good growth. Other messaging apps are growing faster? I don’t doubt it. Just surprised. Do you know which ones?
