BMR and SM ain't a patch on the road.
Bitcoins keep falling, they ain't gonna be worth shit in the morning.

Everybody who was on the road is moving to one of those... And bitcoins prices stabilized, I've read SR transaction were only half a percent of all btc transactions... Silkroad was a big deal but don't think nothing will be the new one

Bitcoins have held the value well considering the apparent biggest grossing BTC site was just taken. I was trading on the exchanges last night and it was great fun

if you had 10BTC, sold at 100, then bought back at 80, you would have made over 2 bitcoin profit from a few simple market trades. Bitcoin will survive, silkroad is just a website with an idea, this idea will be copied and already has been copied.

I think Grunts comment was more to do with the fact that I imagine (maybe wrongly so) that it is now next to impossible to removed BTC from your SR wallet, as the site is down.
