I was wondering if there is any information out there on how bitcoin ownership is currently distributed.  Is it similar to traditional currency such as the USD where the top 10% of individuals own 80% of the currency?

On the one hand, I think it's great that the value of bitcoins seems to be doing very well at the moment.  However, it seems that each time the smaller denominations of bitcoin gain noticeable purchasing power, it might encourage those who were able to accumulate large numbers of bitcoins early on to essentially flood the market and destabilize the currency.
