If the stock wasn't important, they wouldn't write 400 articles a year begging you to sell it. Hold in Computershare Book or Fidelity cash accounts so institutions can't borrow your shares.
It's wild how the exact same scam runs in both markets:
- In Crypto ( $$DOGE / $$BTC): You buy on eToro or a custodial app. They credit your screen with a number, internalize the flow, and lend out the pool to short the price.
- In Stocks ( $$GME): You buy on an IOU broker. They credit your screen with a beneficiary claim, route your order to a dark pool, and let market makers use the street-name pool for synthetic shorts.
The solution is identical in both worlds: withdraw your $$DOGE to a self-custody wallet, and register your $$GME in Computershare (DRS Book) via Charles Schwab.
Ever wonder why Interactive Brokers, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity process outbound DRS transfers to Computershare every single day, while eToro flatly refuses?
Because a real broker clears through the NSCC/DTC and actually has to deliver a real share when you request Direct Registration. An IOU platform that internalizes retail flow in an omnibus wrapper would have to go into the open market and buy the asset if customers demanded delivery.
Don't hold IOUs. Demand real delivery.
When daily volume on $$GME drops under 4M shares and the bid-ask spread widens out, every batch of 300 shares moving from Fidelity to Computershare represents a meaningful slice of actual lit liquidity.
No hype dates needed. Just steady accumulation of real assets in your own name—both $$GME in DRS Book and $$DOGE in cold storage.

Think about how a prime broker generates a 'locate' for a short seller:
>They don't lock a specific serialized certificate
>They point to aggregate street-name inventory held at DTC / omnibus brokers as 'reasonable grounds to believe' the share can be borrowed
>Meanwhile CFD/IOU platforms like eToro CFD/IOU accounts internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves
Every time an investor pulls 200 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 5,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.
Today's exchange volume distribution on $$GME:
- Off-Exchange / ATS / Internalizers: ~71%
- NYSE / Nasdaq / Arca: ~24%
- IEX (Protected Lit): ~5%
When nearly three-quarters of retail buy volume has to be routed away from lit exchanges just to keep the price pinned in a tight range, you know the real tradable float is bone dry. Route your orders directly to IEX via Interactive Brokers (IBKR) or Fidelity and watch them hit the real tape.

>Wall Street & financial media: "You're supposed to buy our high-fee mutual funds and leave your assets in street name!"
> $$DOGE & $$GME holders: "No thanks, we'll hold sound spot assets in self-custody wallets and Computershare DRS Book, and wait for your synthetic shorts to blow up."
Both communities figured out that the custody layer is where the game is rigged—and pulling your assets out of the casino's vault is how you win.
Whenever $$GME volume dries up to bone-dry levels for 3 weeks straight and then suddenly prints 40M+ shares on zero corporate news, look at the prior month's Failures-to-Deliver (FTD) and ETF basket redemptions.
Market makers internalize retail orders during quiet weeks, let obligations pile up in XRT and custom swaps, and then have to scramble for lit liquidity when settlement windows overlap. Routing your buys through IEX on IBKR routed via IEX and locking shares in DRS Book makes every cycle tighter.
Think about why people hoard $$BTC like gold bars but actually spend and tip $$DOGE:
>5 billion new coins per year means the inflation rate drops mathematically every single year (already below 3.4% and falling toward 1.5%)
>Meanwhile miners always have a predictable block subsidy so transaction fees stay under a penny
Currency is meant to circulate peer-to-peer without middlemen or eToro CFD spreads.
Quick checklist for everyone transferring from Fidelity to Computershare:
- Shares transferred via DRS from IBKR, Schwab, or Fidelity arrive automatically as Pure Book entry.
- If you also bought directly through DSPP (Plan), terminating the plan and selling the tiny fractional leaves 100% whole shares in Pure Book.
- Pure Book shares cannot be held at the DTC nominee for 'operational efficiency'.
Every single Book share is one less locate for Wall Street's synthetic short machine.
Think about the difference between spot self-custody and derivative casinos:
>Leveraged traders & CFD users on eToro: paying overnight fees, wide spreads, and getting stopped out on every 5% wick
>Spot holders quietly withdrawing 25,000+ $$DOGE batches into cold storage: 0% funding cost, zero counterparty risk, immune to exchange freezes
Spot holders in cold wallets pay nothing to wait.

Every time an investor pulls 25 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 10,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.
Let's look at the hard numbers on $$GME:
- Billions in cash and marketable U.S. Treasury securities sitting on the balance sheet
- Zero long-term debt obligations
- Store footprint rationalized to profitable locations while SG&A expenses keep dropping
- CEO takes $0 salary, $0 bonus, and buys shares with his own money in the open market
How does a short seller justify paying borrow fees against a fortress balance sheet where the cash floor alone backs a massive chunk of the market cap?
If a friend asks you where to buy $$DOGE, warn them away from eToro and CFD broker apps immediately:
>On eToro, clicking 'Buy DOGE' opens a derivative/IOU position inside their house book
>They charge huge spreads and overnight/transfer fees
>Your purchase doesn't remove a single coin from circulating market supply
Buy spot on an exchange that allows instant L1 Dogecoin withdrawals, and move your coins straight to your own seed phrase. Not your keys, not your Doge!
Think about the difference between spot self-custody and derivative casinos:
>Leveraged traders & CFD users on eToro: paying overnight fees, wide spreads, and getting stopped out on every 5% wick

Spot holders in cold wallets pay nothing to wait.
If you hold $$DOGE in self-custody, running a full node helps strengthen the network and lets you broadcast your own transactions with zero third-party RPCs:
1. Grab the latest dogecoin-1.14.x binary and verify the PGP signatures.
2. Configure dogecoin.conf with maxconnections=64 and dbcache=1024.
3. Open TCP port 22556 on your router.
Uses barely 1.2 GB of RAM and 0.5% CPU once synced. Be your own bank.
The SEC's own 2021 staff report admitted that the January run-up was driven by retail buying sentiment, not by short sellers covering their full positions.
So where did the legacy short exposure go? Into Total Return Swaps, basket derivatives, and synthetic locates backed by street-name omnibus pools. That's why removing shares from DTC street name into Computershare (DRS Book) and ditching IOU brokers like eToro attacks the root of the swap collateral.
