“The head of Taiwan’s central bank said Wednesday that the bank is keeping close tabs on the development of Bitcoin, a decentralized virtual currency that approximates cash on the internet.  ‘We have taken note of the development of Bitcoin and have adopted measures to prevent money laundering through its trading,’ said Perng Fai-nan, the governor of the Central Bank.  Ruling Kuomintang Legislator Lu Shiow-yen asked Perng about his view of the bitcoins, which she said are being traded at an exchange rate of 1 to US$590, the highest valued currency in the world.  In response, Perng said Bitcoin is a new kind of money circulating among a specific group of people.”
