From my experience, I'd say that It's generally accepted that bitcoin's value is entirely extrinsic. Bitcoin was valueless for years, Laszlo valued 10000BTC equal to a pizza, right now traders buy bitcoins @442.8$ per coin, there's nothing that adds value to bitcoin as is, only it's users do by speculating. right now it's the users that are involved in trading that play an active role in changing the price.
Of course, it's not the time I've heard someone claiming otherwise but it's usually bitcoiners that will support this narrative.
