Typical pyramid.  A few winners, a whole lot of losers, and a few lucky people breaking even.

Sounds a bit like most financial markets.  The one really important distinction between a classic pyramid scheme and bitcoin is that a pyramid scheme usually has an entry fee to pay the people further up the pyramid.  Bitcoin software has always been free.  There's also some valueless product being sold at the heart of the pyramid to make it look legitimate.

Cluster2k, that's true.  The price is collapsing and it will eventually rise again like the phoenix.
