The old fart Randroid speaketh:
The r/bitcoin area on Reddit is on fire.“It has to have intrinsic value,” Greenspan said in a Bloomberg Television interview in Washington on Dec. 4. “You have to really stretch your imagination to infer what the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is. I haven’t been able to do it. Maybe somebody else can.”

As one guy said in that thread:
Metafilter takes a less positive view, with quite a few of them complaining about the manic way Redditors attack any Bitcoin critics.That's just how the internet works. It's unfortunate but, when you divide people categorically and take into consideration the rational self interest of human nature, and give it anonymity, you end up with forums / subreddits where a "fanboyish" / almost religious following develops. I've been on the internet a long time and I've seen it happen on hundreds of forums. The minute one person comes forward with anything negative about the cult from which the following was born, prepare to get shit on and flamed. Hard. It's just the way it is.

Bitcoin, Reddit, Wikipedia, Facebook: what's the difference? It's all "digital heroin".
