Well I thought you were blocked from withdrawing the funds.  Sorry ! 

Its all a gamble and some people spend that much amount are not rich but have faith in bitcoins.  Some people put their entire savings into bitcoins hoping it will be worth a shot.  Just like gold, no one knew the price would go up as high as today and people that bought their gold back in the 80s will be making good amount of money in the present day by either selling them or keeping them to see if the price goes higher or not.

Mt.gox is the way to go and then if you live in the states dwolla is the way to withdraw your earnings.   :Good luck

This is due to an security reason to make sure that you have control over your account and for this to become unblocked, you would have to send in some ID and other information to their verification page.  It is best to go to Mt.gox support page and ask the support if your account has been blocked to withdraw any funds.

prices went up today from 3.9 to 4.1!  It may sound small but its good difference for some people.  You just never know when its going to fall or go up, pretty much an gambling except we have control over it. 

This problem was due to an password leak on bitcointalk.org and user that had the same information from this site had been compromised and caused these false

trading to pull the bitcoin price to an strange numbers.  That is why, I usually create an new name and a password for each website that I sign up with just to be on the

safer side.
