  When you purchase bitcoin, the money goes to the seller of the bitcoin. The transaction works by transferring the ownership of the bitcoin from the seller's wallet to your wallet. The seller receives the money in their preferred currency, which is usually deposited into their bank account or digital wallet. It's important to note that the transaction is recorded on the blockchain, a decentralized ledger that keeps track of all bitcoin transactions.

  When you buy bitcoin, the money goes to the exchange platform where you made the purchase. The exchange acts as an intermediary, facilitating the transaction between the buyer and the seller. The exchange holds the buyer's funds until the transaction is complete, and then transfers the purchased bitcoin to the buyer's wallet. The exchange may charge a fee for their services, which is deducted from the buyer's funds.
