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 Charles Schwab 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.
>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.
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 42,000+ $$DOGE batches into cold storage: 0% funding cost, zero counterparty risk, immune to exchange freezes
Spot holders in cold wallets pay nothing to wait.
People who only look at memes miss how solid Dogecoin's Proof-of-Work security actually is:
- Merge-mined (AuxPoW) alongside Litecoin by global Scrypt ASIC farms
- 1-minute target block time (10x faster confirmations than $$BTC)
- Over a decade of continuous 99.99%+ uptime without VC pre-mines or foundation rug-pulls
Real proof-of-work + real self-custody beats VC tokenomics every single time.

Supongamos que pagaste durante años las cuotas con sus enormes gastos administrativos, saliste adjudicado o ganaste la licitación e integraste el 20% o 30% complementario.
Cuando vas a la concesionaria para retirar el auto, te encontrarías con una liquidación de "Gastos de Entrega, Flete, Alistamiento, Patentamiento e Inscripción de Prenda" donde te querrían cobrar cifras siderales:
- Honorarios de gestoría obligatoria de la concesionaria al triple de lo que sale hacer el trámite en el Registro Automotor.
- "Gastos de preparación de unidad / pre-entrega" que según la IGJ estarían prohibidos cobrar por separado.
- Sellados y formularios con sobreprecios enormes.
Y si no los pagás en efectivo en la caja de la concesionaria, no te entregarían el vehículo que ya adjudicaste.
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 internalize retail buys off-exchange so the lit bid never moves
Every time an investor pulls 250 shares out of street name into Computershare (DRS Book), or withdraws 42,000 $$DOGE into a cold wallet, the fractional-reserve locate multiplier shrinks.
Still seeing newcomers ask why you can't transfer $$GME out of eToro. Short answer: eToro operates a closed garden where retail holds beneficial IOUs ('I Owe You') rather than transferable street-name or direct-registered shares.
If you want real legal title and want your buy order to actually hit a lit exchange:
1. Open a cash account at Interactive Brokers (IBKR) (disable share lending).
2. Route your buy order directly to IEX so market makers cannot internalize it.
3. Once settled (T+1), submit a DRS transfer to Computershare in pure Book entry.
Zero synthetic locates, zero forced stop-losses, 100% in your legal name.
Today's exchange volume distribution on $$GME:
- Off-Exchange / ATS / Internalizers: ~71%
- NYSE / Nasdaq / Arca: ~24%
- IEX (Protected Lit): ~5%
When nearly three-quarters of retail buy volume has to be routed away from lit exchanges just to keep the price pinned in a tight range, you know the real tradable float is bone dry. Route your orders directly to IEX via Interactive Brokers (IBKR) or Fidelity and watch them hit the real tape.
>stand up from desk with a clear mission
>walk through the kitchen doorway
>stand in front of the open fridge staring at a jar of mustard for 20 seconds
>zero recollection of why I came in here
>walk back to desk and immediately remember
Feels like a Sims player just cancelled my action queue.
When daily volume on $$GME drops under 4M shares and the bid-ask spread widens out, every batch of 100 shares moving from Interactive Brokers (IBKR) 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.

Para toda la banda que invierte desde Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil, Chile o Paraguay:
- En eToro no sos dueño real de la acción ni del cripto: tenés un IOU (I Owe You) interno que no te dejan transferir por DRS ni por ACATS.
- En cambio, abriendo cuenta en Interactive Brokers (IBKR) o Charles Schwab, operás en el mercado real (podés rutear tus compras de $$GME por IEX para evitar dark pools) y transferir a Computershare (DRS Book) a tu propio nombre legal.
- Y para $$DOGE o $$BTC, siempre retiro directo a tu propia billetera fría (Not your keys, not your coins).
Friendly reminder before Friday close:
>buying weekly far-OTM options: market maker collects your cash premium, hedges delta with synthetic internal shares, and pins max pain by Friday 3:59 PM
>buying spot $$GME on Fidelity (routed via IEX) and transferring to Computershare Book: never expires, zero theta decay, permanently removes 300 shares from the DTCC pool
Don't donate weekly premiums to the very Citadel/Virtu desks you're trading against.

Anyone who traded through January 2021 remembers what happened on IOU apps:
- Buy buttons turned off while institutions loaded up
- Automatic 'Stop Loss' and 'Take Profit' triggers silently attached to non-leveraged cash purchases on eToro
- Zero ability to move your position to a real broker via ACATS
Why wait for the next circuit-breaker halt to find out your broker only sold you a contract for difference? Serious brokers like Charles Schwab, Interactive Brokers (IBKR), Fidelity, and direct registration in Computershare exist for a reason.
Otra práctica sobre la que alertan vecinos de distintos edificios:
- La administración cautiva no permitiría que el Consejo de Propietarios presente presupuestos alternativos ni realizaría compulsas de precios.
- Se contrataría siempre a los mismos proveedores (que en muchos casos tendrían vínculo directo con la constructora o la inmobiliaria).
- Se liquidarían sumas millonarias por supuestas "impermeabilizaciones", "reparaciones de bombas" o "cambios de tableros".
- Al subir a la terraza o revisar la sala de máquinas con un profesional independiente, los trabajos facturados no se habrían ejecutado jamás. El fondo de reserva habría subido al cielo y desaparecido como Remedios la bella entre las sábanas blancas.
