Great part: "Who knows better? These random people chattering on forums - I won't mention any names [obviously Hacker News]? Or Zuckerberg himself who knows all the numbers and is actually betting his money. [WhatsApp] must be worth $19 billion if Zuckerberg was willing to pay $19 billion for it, cause he's no idiot."
Reply to below: I wouldn't nitpick the fact that he says WhatsApp "must" be worth $19B. This is an interview, not anything logically formal. The main point is that Zuckerberg is actually putting money on the line and has personally seen all of WhatsApp's numbers. Compare this to the peanut gallery on HN.
