The absurd part of that is his assumption that the growth will continue in the future just because it has in the past so those things must happen. Granted, it did sound like he was saying it was likely with growth at that rate but, realistically, the expansion of the numbers has its limits both in population that can be added and in that retention of the current users will never be 100% or even close. Plus, are these numbers active participants or just the number of accounts, which might include multiple accounts for one person and/or inactive accounts. I have a hard time buying the numbers.

Maybe he addresses all of this and I missed it but I think it will be like most predictions of the future.
