Dollars, Gold, and Bitcoin

The Fed's Hidden Agenda and How to Profit from It

By: John S. Pennington Jr.

Narrated by: John S. Pennington Jr.

There’s a secret war going on for the future of money. The United States government—as it has for generations—is winning. And you can too.

Since the creation of the Federal Reserve more than one hundred years ago, the American dollar has become the most successful product (of any kind) of all time and the language of commerce for the planet. From the Gold Reserve Act to Bretton Woods to the petrodollar and beyond, the U.S. has successfully ridden the waves of historical transformation to stay on top.

The next big change has become clear—digital currency. And the U.S. government’s plan to control the rise of Bitcoin as well as the currencies of the BRICS countries is already in motion. Over three decades—including the 2008 real estate collapse and the 2020 pandemic—investor John S. Pennington Jr. has studied how the Fed’s marketing formula promotes and protects its number one product by creating insatiable demand.

In this provocative book, Pennington explains how he incorporated these strategies by starting his career selling used blue jeans and ending up co-founding a $28 billion family of investment funds.

Dollars, Gold, and Bitcoin not only reveals the hidden agenda of the world’s most powerful bank. It will also change how you think, problem-solve, and incorporate critical thinking as it provides a handbook for making billion-dollar decisions that can take your life and business to the next level.

Phenomenal Book

Had the pleasure of listening to this book. Definitely worth every second. Don’t try to stop the wave, find the best surfboard and ride it as long as you possibly can!

Must have

John was/is great. He made for an easy , entertaining listen. You could hear the laughter and genuine joy in his voice as he read his writings aloud. Must have for any type of investor as he touched on philosophy as well as education and principals. Will probably listen to and read this one at least twice a year from now on.

Helped me understand better fund launching!

Thanks for foundation data for starting a business and a fund. This is no nonsense talk in your voice full of heart.

Not really about what it says.

It’s interesting content, but bounces around too many topics. No clear structure. Not really about the title or description. If you want to start a PE fund, then this is a good read. Should be titled “PE funds”
Mostly about the authors history and businesses. I like his delivery and content, but again too off topic most of the book.

Quality Content, great read!

John’s perspective on “compared to what?“ for context and the US dollar put into the equation whenever something doesn’t make sense, is spot on!
