Heheh, I know it's technically just ones and zeros in some database/global network, but that is really disconcerting. Doesn't money need to GO some place to be missing? Especially in a digital credit/debit sense? How can it just disappear? (Unless it did go somewhere, you didn't happen to find that out did you?)
Our concept of money has really changed over the last few years. I read somewhere that over 3/4ths of the worlds assets are now for all intensive purposes digital. Just credits and debits...
Oh, by the way, happy Friday the 13th.

It's getting started early it looks like.
