It's simple folks. 

If you're concerned about naked short-selling, and short-selling in general causing price declines, do yourself and the rest of the community a favor.

TRANSFER your BTC to a wallet where only YOU have the keys.

Then they can't be lent to anybody.
Short selling does help reduce the amount of large price gains that are not supported by the fundamentals (and will eventually lead to a crash). If the prices does not rise too fast and does not crash then more people will want to start using bitcoin over time that will lead to greater long term prices.
