It's not centralized (according to their site). The value of held money just decays. The money doesn't go anywhere; it just disappears.

From FAQ, they say its centralized.
No. There is a one-time issuance of currency to get the money out there. Of that, 20% goes to the miners over the next 3 years, and 80% is distributed through community-vetted grant and prize proposals.

Of the demurrage however, it is perpetually destroyed and recycled through the miners.
