Right now, it's not going too well in fact, with an ever increasing gap between poor and rich.
I don't know any other open source software project with as many talented devs, thorough security analysts and general global attention as Bitcoin and yet any other software project that comes near to Bitcoin in one of those aspects is long out of experimental stage. So I'd say Bitcoin is quite humble in still calling itself experimental
It has resisted a ton of attacks, you could even argue it's the software project that should be the most profitable to attack, yet it's still secure, still decentralized and still increasing in interest, adoption and price.
Experiment is going well so far!
