3 Billion at 23 years old for a company can can barely generate revenue. I would have took the cash and grabbed a board position.

Ya my reaction exactly. It's a scary world we live in today. Luckily I've never used Snapchat.
And they're all living in the cloud in Snapchat founder brah's basement - just waiting for when he wants to make bank off the company (and influence world politics)
Dude can blackmail users/sell content as stock photographs. We're collectively lucky that Zuckerberg figured out how to make advertising revenue off FB or he'd be out there selling off your artsy photographs and personal data to the highest bidders.

$6 billion would be my asking price.
Like others have listed the shelf life on Snapchat is short. Cash in while its too late

Smart idea in holding out.
Snap chat doesn't even stream income revenue at the moment and it's worth $3 billion? Imagine what happens once the ad money rolls in?

He already does. Just depends if you see an ad using your photo like a former NTer did when his daughter's baby picture popped up.

What some people don't grasp is, everything is archived somewhere. These photos? They're all sitting on a server somewhere. Dropbox? Your files are sitting on a server somewhere. The admins on these sites have access to everything, too.

once it becomes public knowledge,
once a snapchat is used in a court case,
once an app for screenshots becomes mainstream,
it's a wrap for snapchat.
that could literally be any day now

The Instagram guys are doing just fine as is the Tumblr founder who really robbed Yahoo but that's another discussion.

Cosign. That Deal or No Deal double or nothing is NOT worth it 80% of the time. 3 Billion is more then 99.9% of people will see. I would cash out then work on the next thing

That's the common mentality most people will go/have gone with.
Would you be able to sleep at night knowing it's worth 20 bil after a few years, though?
Yeah because in a few years, I'll think about it and go buy a new Lambo and speed down the highway and forgot about it.

I'm starting to see the trend.
I might be late, but the apps/websites that end up cashing out the most, are the ones that get the sheep herded up.
Facebook got people to drop damn near all of their info. Family, friends, likes, groups, fan pages.
Twitter got people to talk. Spout out their bs daily lives and thoughts.
Snapchat is getting the pics, just like Instagram.
The next big app is gonna be something that falls into this category. Albeit it's an easy category to fall into. Many things can be seen as data mining.
Let's start brainstorming NT.
We got paralegals on NT, Wall Street cats on NT, high school/college students on NT
From East Coast to West Coast and peppered all around the world.
There's a thinktank right under our noses.
That's a lot of potential charity money Meth
