When you compare them to space shuttles, sure. But when you compare them with WhatsApps, it's actually somewhat reasonable to value them at around 1 WhatsApp.

But when you compare them with WhatsApps, it's actually somewhat reasonable to value them at around 1 WhatsApp. I blame Zuckerberg for screwing up the WhatsApp to dollars exchange rate, not others for extrapolating. Given Facebook's previous attempts to purchase them, I can easily see them selling to Facebook for above that $19B valuation. Once you remove Facebook from the equation, the valuation becomes just as absurd as you make it out to be.
