This is interesting. Is Facebook "pretty sure" of this as well?

Re:The WhatsApp Architecture Facebook Bought For $19 Billion on Wednesday February 26, 2014 @07:45PM (#7309451)

As Facebook transitions into the next decade, they must focus heavily on mobile. I see a lot of people mainly using Facebook for its messenger app, so it's very smart of Facebook to buy a competing messaging service that is gaining huge traction in the international market. If WhatsApp were to expand into the States, Facebook could be in trouble. Very smart investment by Zuckerberg but I can see why people are shocked it was dealt for such a huge amount.
