Determining that one thing is better than another thing (by however means you determine it, I think both are good for different reasons and have money in each) does not mean the less good thing must therefore be a scam, and definitely not a pyramid scheme, which has a specific definition that bitcoin doesn't fit.

Yes, bitcoin benefits from having more people participating in it, but so does Facebook, so does Twitter, so does Youtube, so does the Internet, so does the US dollar, so does the stock market, etc etc etc. That doesn't make these all pyramid schemes.
