      It's split among those here.[^]

      There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                          Well it's the same as the money you pay for your telephone service. It funds the businesses that maintain the systems on which the internet runs. What did you think, that the entire system runs on thin air?

                                    So you know that the backbone of the internet is carrier pigeons, and the telephone exchange is stuffed full of the little darlin's. When you "post" a message it is transcribed, attached to a pigeon and sent to the exchange nearest the website. It's response returns the same way. SO what do you think pays for all the bird seed if it isn't the money you pay for the internet?

I kindly request you to have a close look on how the codeproject works and then only post the thread.But yes, please don't post such CHILDISH questions.

                                        Where "is" money to begin with? Surely you're not talking about cash (which has an obvious location), you can't really use that on the internet. Maybe you could say that money "is in the bank", but the bank doesn't have cash lying around to represent the value of your bank account. It's just a number. So does money even exist at all? And if not, does the question where it goes to even make sense? Also, your money is sent through big tubes (the internets!) straight into the vaults of rich people.
