“You’ve never heard of Nelson Aldrich?”
That was the first question my colleague Luke Burgess asked me earlier today.
Don’t worry if you have absolutely no idea who he was, because I didn’t, either… at least not until this morning.
“Think of him like the Mitch McConnell of the early 20th century, but with a far superior mustache,” he said coolly, further explaining that Aldrich was one of the leaders of the Republican Party in the Senate, where he served for 40 years.
First, a little bit of background…
Back in 1907, a financial crisis erupted in the United States. And even though it lasted three weeks, the New York Stock Exchange plummeted 50% from the highs it reached during the previous year.
It was utter chaos.
There were massive runs on the banks after market liquidity dried up, and one result was the downfall of the third-largest trust company in NYC: Knickerbocker Trust Company.
This was the catalyst Aldrich needed to unfurl a plan that would change the lives of every American forever — including you and me today!
The Birth of the Fed
You see, the Panic of 1907 led to the passage of the Aldrich-Vreeland Act. Essentially, the Act provided some short-term relief by allowing banks to issue notes on a much wider range of securities than before, effectively increasing the money in circulation.
It also established the National Monetary Commission, which was chaired by — you guessed it — Nelson Aldrich.
The commission’s goal was to survey the current banking systems in Europe and the United States.
A few years later, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed to ensure these financial crises never happened again.
Any of you who were skinned alive in the Great Recession that plagued us all a decade ago know that was nothing more than a pipe dream.
Then Luke caught me off-guard…
“How much money do you think the Fed printed since 1913? I’m talking all of the bills that have been used in circulation for the last 104 years,” he said.
I couldn’t fathom the hundreds of trillions of dollars that have rolled hot off of their printing presses over the years — it’s a wealth of cold, hard cash that would leave us all breathless.
“Now imagine to yourself,” he continued, “that the Fed couldn’t print a single dollar bill unless it used one of YOUR presses.”
It was a pleasant enough thought, if only I had a flux capacitor and 1.21 gigawatts of electricity… or a bolt of lightning.
Unfortunately, I had neither.
“So then… what if you were able to control the means of production for the next generation’s currency?”
And that, dear reader, made my ears perk up…

For those of you seeing it for the first time, it’s the Antminer S9, which is one of Bitmain’s most popular products used to mine Bitcoin.
Think of it like a digital printing press.
I understand that you may not think Bitcoin will ever gain widespread acceptance. When I saw its value bomb in 2013 and 2014, I was under the same impression.
It was just a fad, right?
Now, I’m pretty sure we’re all fully aware of just how huge Bitcoin’s potential is at this point. Even criminals are veering away from the dollar. We learned recently that someone tried to blackmail President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, threatening to release then-candidate Trump’s tax returns.
Oh, he didn’t ask for a single dime.
He wanted Bitcoin:
For investors, Bitcoin has been the gift that keeps on giving…
As Luke pointed out yesterday, the digital cryptocurrency has delivered some investors gains in excess of 20,000%!
“But here’s a dirty little secret: the real money isn’t in Bitcoin,” Luke told me.
“The real cash is in printing it.”
That’s when I learned he’s uncovered an investment that is flying far under Wall Street’s radar, and it’s a company that stands to rake in a veritable fortune from the production of Bitcoin.
It took just three minutes from when Luke stopped talking for me to pick up the phone and dial my broker.
Once you see his investment presentation, it’ll take you even less time than that. Of course, if you prefer to read a full transcript of what he’s uncovered, you can do so by simply clicking here.
