The current valuation is ~$8.5 billion, wikipedia puts them at ~100 million users. That works out to be ~$85/user.

The current valuation has jumped about 15-25% (from 88 to 110 per share) in the 10 minutes I've been watching it.

right now's not the time to pick nits on their valuation this whole thing is going to be completely out of whack for a while.

The comment I was replying to originally had "almost $1k/user".

Don't worry, it only took an hour after your comment for the stock to break $100 and their valuation is now a cool $10 billion.

The way this stock is moving now, a stock price of $83 seems downright conservative.

The least they could do is buy each user a nice steak.
