Hi everyone. I haven't got any bitcoins in my wallet and I think that this is a good opportunity to get some. As all of you guys know, mtgox has had some so called "problems" and that resulted in the price of bitcoins to go down. The average price of bitcoin is at 160$. I was wondering: if I buy some bitcoins off them, will I be able to get them automatically or I will be just another person who has lost his bitcoins?

No, you won't get them automatically. They have frozen Bitcoin withdraws.

The gamble is whether or not they will ever allow, or are capable of allowing, Bitcoin withdraws again in the future.

If you want to gamble, go to a casino. If you want to buy a bitcoin, avoid Gox.

I apologize in advance if you heed this free advice and miss out on ridiculously cheap bitcoins if Gox reinstates Bitcoin withdraws again in the future.

I understand. If I ever hear that everything is fixed, I might jump on the occasion tho. Guess I will keep playing Poker Stars!

$160 isn't the price of a Bitcoin - it's the price of a promise from MtGox to pay you one. Many people doubt that MtGox will keep their promises, that's why the price is so discounted.
