At first, Alice's address will show the transaction from Joe as "Unconfirmed". This means that the transaction has been propagated to the network but has not yet been included in the bitcoin transaction ledger, known as the blockchain. To be included, the transaction must be "picked up" by a miner and included in a block of transactions. Once a miner has discovered a solution to the Proof-of-Work algorithm for this block (in approximately 10 minutes), the transactions within the block will be accepted as "confirmed" by the network and can be spent. The transaction is seen by all instantly, but it is only "trusted" by all when it is included in a newly mined block. The more blocks mined after that block, the more trusted it is, as more and more computation is "piled" on top of it.
