what is the best way to purchase bitcoins?
if i send $ to mt gox can it remain in mt gox as $, or does it automaticaly get converted to bitcoins?
Hi, that's what I'm doing. The $ at MtGox won't be transferred automatically but you will have them in your wallet and then you choose how you get bitcoins and how much through them

.
Thanks for the info. Can you cash out the $ in your wallet irrelevantly of market condition? Let me rephrase that; does mt gox act as a dollars bank account? or is there always some sort of catch related to bitcoins?
