The IRS and bitcoins

How do you have a currency, bitcoins, that can increase in value between the time you receive it for services rendered and when you spend it? How do you track and pay tax on the monetary gain of appreciating currency?

To be legally compliant with the IRS any appreciation in a sold asset must be taxed. Who keeps track of this? Or is every bitcoin transaction an IRS violation?
