Bifurcation
Definition: When a non-linear dynamic system develops twice the possible solutions that it had before it passed its critical level. A bifurcation cascade is often called the period doubling route to chaos because the transition from an orderly system to a chaotic system often occurs when the number of possible solutions begins increasing, doubling each time.

Bilateral Netting
Definition: Bilateral netting - the consolidation of all swap agreements between two counterparties into one master agreement. The result is that if one counterparty bankrupts, that counterparty cannot seek to collect on any swaps that are in-the-money to them while at the same time refusing to pay out on any that are out-of-the-money. Instead, the master agreement sets out that in this event all swaps between the two counterparties will be netted; only then will the bankrupt company receive money, and then only if they are net in-the-money.

Binomial Option Tree
Definition: Option Pricing method which assumes that the price of the underlying can go up or down by fixed multiples. Each price jump is assigned a probability and a tree of possible underlying prices is built. Working from the tree points or nodes at the option maturity date, the worth of the option can be back calculated until the option can be valued at the desired date. This technique is commonly used to price path dependent options, such as average rate and lookback options, where the option price is dependent on the underlying's price history. A more advanced technique, the Trinomial tree, as its name suggests, assumes that option prices cam move up, down or stay the same. The Binomial Tree Pricing Model is used in the Snowgold Option Calculator.

Bitcoin
Definition: A decentralized digital currency that runs without banks, governments, or middlemen. Bitcoin exists only online and is powered by a global network of computers verifying and recording transactions on a public ledger called the blockchain. Created in 2009 by an anonymous figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin lets anyone send money directly to anyone else, anywhere in the world, without needing permission. Its supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it scarce by design and often compared to digital gold.
