I see this as more of a discussion of the politics of _why_ a black market should exist, more than recognizing that it does and people want it. There is never going to be a completely deregulated marketplace for everyone. A SilkRoad 2.0 is an idea for an elitist market where only the technically skilled can use it properly and correctly, and thus becomes self limiting on its own.
I see it like this: a few like minded people want to trade things that many high minded people would rather not exist or don't want to be openly sold (whichever you prefer) without having boot clodding storm troopers kick down your door and take away your ability to pursue life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This is just a simple progression/evolution of the black market.
