"The Silk Road shutdown resulted in brief, but shallow sell off and subsequent rebounded within a few days. This event showed the world and governments that illegal activities were a very small fraction of the transactions taking place on the bitcoin network." I would say it showed that Silk Road was a small fraction of all BC transactions, but that still doesn't speak to the total amount of illegal activity going on BC. That said, it does imply to me that either: (1) The total percentage of BC transactions being used for illegal transactions really is low (as the article implies), or: (2) The remaining entities using BC for illegal purposes are confident that what happened to the Silk Road won't happen to them.
