What does withdraw mean here? It does not explicitly mention buying bitcoins?

"Withdraw" means taking your bitcoins out of Mt.Gox so they're a your wallet rather than at theirs. You can buy all you want, but you can't take them out, much less spend them. So they're basically useless now.

<p>'Withdraw' means moving your BTC or money out of the account to another account. It doesn't say it but it won't let you if you try. Google for Mt.Gox and you will find a lot of news about the current problem.</p>

<p>So would it really be possible to buy bitcoin at MtGox at $259 and sell for $635 at BitStamp at 18th February 2014? Because those are the bitcoin exchange prices at that moment?</p>
