I guess in 2007 everybody thought that the housing market will never ever collapse and the raise will continue forever. People, it won't.

And neither will this growth.

It has nothing to do with the size of the market or the number of potential users. Hey, if you say it like this, in 2000 were a lot more potential users than today, because of less people on the internet.

Thats a pretty blind way to look at this. A shopping site launching in 2000 had a fixed potential audience of X and a MAXIMUM revenue of Y.

A shopping site launching today has more than 10x the audience. If you want to discount that, go ahead.

Even 10x is a finite number. Growth is not unlimited it never was and never will be. That is the point I was trying to make.
