signed by Satoshi Nakamoto -- likely a pseudonym -- and the coins
made their online debut in 2009. How the coins are created, how
the transactions are authenticated and how the whole system manages to power
forward with no central bank, no financial regulator and a user base
of wily hackers all comes down to computing power and savoir faire.Or,
as Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist for the ConvergEx Group, describes
it: "genius on so many levels."The linchpin of the system is a
network of "miners" -- high-end computer users who supply the Bitcoin network
with the processing power needed to maintain a transparent, running tally
of all transactions. The tally is one of the most important ways
in which the system prevents fraud, and the miners are rewarded for
supporting the system with an occasional helping of brand-new bitcoins.Those
bitcoins have become a dangerously hot commodity in the past few days.Rising
from roughly $13 at the beginning of the year, the price of
a single bitcoin blasted through the $100 barrier last week, according to
Mt. Gox, a site where users can swap bitcoins for more traditional
currencies.On Tuesday, the price of a single bitcoin had topped $200. On
Wednesday, it hit $266 before a flash crash dragged it back down
to just over $100. By Thursday, bitcoins were trading for around $150.The
rebel currency may seem unstable, but then so do some of its
more traditional counterparts. Some say Bitcoin got
rhetoric and confirmed that this will only serve to further isolate the
DPRK," the final communique said, using the acronym for North Korea's official
name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "They urged the DPRK to
engage in credible and authentic multilateral talks on denuclearization."In
recent weeks, Washington and Beijing have cooperated on new sanctions against
the North and both have decried the increasing threats from Kim Jong
Un's government, which have expanded to include talk of a nuclear strike
against the United States. It is not believed to have such capacity,
but the provocative rhetoric has officials around the world extremely worried.At
the State Department meeting after North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test, different
ideas for how to bring about a new assertiveness from Beijing were
tossed around, according to the senior U.S. official, who wasn't authorized
to speak publicly about the meeting and demanded anonymity.One approach
could be described best as the power of persuasion: Make the case
to Chinese authorities, offered many times previously, that both the U.S.
and China share a common interest in ensuring a stable Korean Peninsula,
without the threat of nuclear war in the Asia-Pacific.The other approach
is more akin to the power of example: Show the Chinese what
it means if they cannot control the North's behavior by beefing up
U.S. defenses and sending more American military assets right into China's
backya
