I'm interested in where you came up with the "literal" worth comparison.

Perhaps what you meant to say is that, "I personally feel that this new steel alloy is worth more than whatsapp, and, I would be personally prepared to pay at a valuation of 1 million times greater than the whatsappp valuation. So, going back in time, if I had a choice of owning 10% of whatsapp for a $10,000 investment (valuing whatsapp at $100K), or 0.00001% of the company producing this alloy (valuing it at $100B, or 1 million times as much as whatsapp, I would take the 0.00001% for my $10,000 instead of the 10% share of whatsapp for $10,000).

Is that literally how you feel?
