imo I would still be cautious. SR accounted for ~300-400 million in revenue a year for bitcoins. Much of which was from fresh money being brought in by customers. I don't know of anything else in the same stratosphere in terms of bringing in money into the network. SR was/is a big deal. Will there be other sites to take its place? Sure.. but to what extent they will fill that void remains to be seen. Also will customers/vendors of these sites be weary about jumping back into this market?
Bitcoin doesn't earn revenue, and SR was mostly neutral for supply and demand.
Buyers bought btc, sellers sold btc to buy product.
