I wonder if it's a lot more respectable now SilkRoad is gone?

Or the many headlines about SR acted as sort of advertising.

Well, maybe because it only took such a small hit when SR went down and quickly recovered, whereas everyone expected it to greatly lose in value. It basically has proven it can exist without SR. Also, there are two big new markets and countless smaller ones already.
