You’re saying Honey is worth $20B?

He is saying it is 5x too high. So the valuation should be 1/5th (20%).

So he is suggesting a valuation of $800,000,000 ($800M). Which in my opionion is about right.

That puts the value per user right at $47 per user. Again, which given PayPal's previous acquisitions, looks accurate.
