There really isn’t an analog to your GME/ComputerShare example (but why even buy GME that way? Unless you hold the physical certificate or your ownership is written in the corporate books, ComputerShare still holds it under their street name)
Anyway, with Crypto it works differently — when you purchase crypto through an exchange such as Coinbase, the way you truly hold or own your crypto is to transfer it off the exchange and into your own ‘wallet’. This is called ‘cold storage’.
BUT, before you get into this, please do your research and learn about it. A mistake made, such as sending your crypto to the wrong address because you spelled it wrong will mean you lose it forever.
There are many exchanges or app based crypto platforms out there to get you started, however I would suggest something like a Coinbase Pro or FTX.us.
I am ignorant on how to actually buy crypto and hold it.
I want to buy it like how I buy GME directly from ComputerShare do you have any information that could help me.
