What Is Jeff Brown’s “The End of the Dollar” Prediction?

Jeff Brown of Brownstone Research recently released a presentation dubbed “The End of the Dollar,” which centers around what he believes could be “the biggest financial overhaul since 1971.”

According to Jeff Brown, “money as we know it could literally disappear in the next few months.” And he says this is “by far the most important warning” he’s ever issued.

It’s a pretty gloomy prediction. However, keep in mind that the presentation is used to sell his advisory service, The Near Future Report, so there is a marketing angle to it. And as such, I recommend taking some of what he says in the presentation with a grain of salt.

Still, I was curious to know what Jeff Brown was predicting, so I decided to take a closer look. And in this post, I’ll show you what I found.

Here’s the short version: Jeff Brown’s “The End of the Dollar” prediction is about how he believes America could soon phase out paper dollars and usher in a new digital dollar, and he suggests “buying an asset you can use to become your own banker” as the solution.

What’s he recommending? Jeff Brown reveals his recommendation in a report titled “The Escape Plan: How to Become Your Own Banker with the World’s Hardest Asset,” which you can only access by joining Near Future Report for $49.

However, based on my research, I believe the asset Jeff Brown is talking about is bitcoin. He also talks about a fintech company he’s interested in that could benefit from a digital dollar.

Read on for my complete take.

Unpacking Jeff Brown’s Digital Dollar Prediction

The presentation we’ll be discussing in this post was released in January 2022 on the Brownstone Research website, and it’s an interview between Chris Hurt and Jeff Brown.

Jeff Brown began the presentation by claiming he’s “about to blow the lid off a new and astounding plan” that he claims could put your hard-earned savings at risk.

“Chris, I’m about to blow the lid off a new and astounding plan being unleashed on you, me, and everyone across our nation by the United States Government… with the full backing of some of the most powerful corporations in America.”

“If my research proves correct… your hard-earned savings could be at risk…”

According to Jeff Brown, at the core of this “plan” is a “multi-trillion dollar scheme” endorsed by the Federal Reserve, UN, IMF, Bill Gates, and other organizations.

He also claims that, due to his connections from being a member of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, he was able to get access to an “unredacted copy of the plan.”

What “plan” is Jeff Brown talking about?

Based on the presentation, it seems Jeff Brown is referring to the Banking for All Act, a bill that centers around digital dollars and digital dollar wallets.

The way Jeff Brown described it in the presentation, you’d think there was a “secret plan” in the works and that he somehow got access to the original copy of the plan before it was altered. But the “plan” he’s referring to is the Banking for All Act, which is a publicly available document (lol).

And from what I can tell, none of the screenshots of the bill he shared in the presentation are any different from the version that’s publicly accessible online.

So, in my opinion, some of what he says is essentially just marketing “spin,” and it’s used to help sell his advisory service, The Near Future Report.

That said, Jeff Brown has made some notable predictions in the past, so I was keen to hear his thesis on what the future could hold for the U.S. dollar.

What’s he predicting?

During the presentation, Jeff Brown talked about how there have been “three major shocks” to the American financial system since 1907, and he suggests we could be about to see the fourth.

According to Jeff Brown, the first “major shock” was the introduction of the Federal Reserve Act. He states that, since it was passed, “ordinary folks lost 96% of the value of their hard-earned dollars.” And he showed a chart of the devaluation of the dollar since the Fed’s inception in late 1913.

The second shock, according to Brown, was the “Emergency Banking Act” in 1933. This is where President Roosevelt forced Americans to turn in their gold savings for $20.67 before revealing it to $35 an ounce shortly thereafter.

And the third major shock he mentioned was in 1971 when the U.S. was taken off the gold standard. In other words, when fiat currency was no longer backed by gold.

There’s no doubt about it; each represents a significant event in monetary history. And according to Jeff Brown, “our money could disappear altogether” and be replaced by “a new type of ‘dollar’ that will permanently change the function of our money.”

The new type of dollar Jeff Brown is referring to is a digital dollar (AKA central bank digital currency, or CBDC), which is essentially a digital version of the existing fiat currency system.

It’s no secret that the U.S. and many other countries are considering implementing a CBDC, and there are many different theories about the impact this could have.

For example, some suggest it could a good thing, while others have voiced concerns around things like privacy, censorship, increased centralization, and the possibility a digital dollar could enforce negative interest rates.

And these are some of the concerns Jeff Brown voices in the presentation.

He also states that the bill responsible for digital dollars “could pass into law in the next few months” and talks about how companies including Microsoft, McDonald’s, Walmart, and Visa are already working on implementing changes in anticipation of a digital dollar.

“The power elites, the biggest businesses, and the most powerful firms in America are all pushing for a digital dollar.”

“That’s why Microsoft, McDonald’s, Walmart, and Visa are quickly (and already) implementing changes.”

So, to recap, Jeff Brown believes a new digital dollar could be released in the coming months. And he believes that “this transformation of the American financial system” could “decimate” the hard-earned savings of people with over $2,500 in the bank.

In the next section, I’ll walk you through how Jeff Brown suggests navigating this situation.

What Is Jeff Brown’s Digital Dollar “Escape Plan” Recommendation?

During the presentation, Jeff Brown suggests that there is “only one way to prepare for this massive change to the financial system.” And he reveals his recommendation in a report titled “The Escape Plan: How to Become Your Own Banker with the World’s Hardest Asset.”

Unfortunately, the only way to access that report is to join The Near Future Report for $49. However, based on the clues he shares in the presentation, I believe Jeff Brown’s “Escape Plan” recommendation is bitcoin.

To explain why, let’s consider some of the clues Jeff Brown shares in the presentation.

To start with, Chris Hurt asks Jeff Brown if his recommendation has anything to do with stocks, bonds, or commodities, to which Jeff Brown replies: “No, Chris… it’s not any of those things.”

He also says that it “doesn’t involve silver, gold, or land,” you can buy it “with a few clicks on your computer,” and talks about how it’s volatile. Lastly, Brown says that it’s “similar to gold” but “even better,” and says no central bank or country controls it.

“And here’s the best part – it’s not controlled by any central bank or country…”

“Which means it’s almost completely decentralized from the hands of bureaucratic manipulation.”

What Jeff Brown is describing is almost certainly bitcoin because it matches all of his clues. And his final clue all but confirms this:

“It’s soared more than 9-times higher since the start of the pandemic, and I expect it to soar 1,000% higher over time.”

Bitcoin’s price was around $4,000 in March of 2020, and a 9x increase would make it about $36k, which it did see in January 2022 when the presentation was released.

So, long story short, I believe Jeff Brown’s pick is bitcoin.

As for whether or not you should buy bitcoin, I’ll leave that for you to decide.

However, in my opinion, bitcoin is an excellent long-term store of value, regardless of whether or not a digital dollar is released. It’s the most decentralized, transparent, and technologically superior digital asset in existence. This is why, full disclosure, I hold some bitcoin.

In any case, Jeff Brown details his pick in the “Escape Plan” report I mentioned earlier. The report also shows you how he suggests storing and transporting the asset anywhere you go.

Assuming my guess is correct, you don’t need Jeff Brown’s report to learn how to buy, store, or travel with bitcoin. There are countless free resources online that show you how to do that.

And if you want to learn what bitcoin is and why it’s worthwhile, I recommend checking out Vijay Boyapati’s medium article called The Bullish Case for Bitcoin. There are many great resources out there, but that’s my favorite as it does a great job of breaking everything down.

With that said, Jeff Brown also mentions another investment he’s interested in. In short, he talks about how the “banking infrastructure is being rebuilt from the ground up” and says there’s one fintech (financial technology) company he’s particularly interested in as part of his thesis.

Here’s the main clue he shares about this company:

“That’s because this company already serves 95 of the top 100 financial institutions, which will allow them to roll out this new architecture to nearly every financial institution in America…”

“This company is ALREADY being used to distribute stimulus funds to millions of Americans.”

Those are pretty much the only clues Jeff Brown shares. And it’s not much to go off, so it wasn’t possible to identify the fintech company he’s teasing.

So, if you want to find out the name of this company, you’ll need to read Jeff Brown’s report, “The #1 Tech Play for the Digital Dollar Revolution.” And like his “Escape Plan” report, the only way to access it is to sign up for The Near Future Report.

What Is The Near Future Report?

The Near Future Report is an investment advisory service edited by Jeff Brown and published by Brownstone Research, focused on emerging tech trends.

Each month, Jeff Brown shares his insight and investment ideas related to trends like artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, 5G, blockchain technology, robotics, for example.

He also shares the name of the company, its ticker, and why he’s interested in it so that you can follow his recommendations using your own brokerage account if you want to.

Aside from the monthly newsletters, subscribers get access to the model portfolio, updates on Jeff Brown’s picks, and the following reports if you join through the “End of the Dollar” presentation:

  • The Escape Plan: How to Become Your Own Banker with the World’s Hardest Asset
  • The #1 Tech Play for the Digital Dollar Revolution
  • 5 Plays to Strike it Rich in Online America

The cost of subscribing to The Near Future Report is usually $199. However, if you sign up through the presentation, it’s $49 for the first 12 months and automatically renews at $129 per year once the first year is up. It also comes with a 60-day refund policy.

Is The Near Future Report legit?

Yes, The Near Future Report is a legitimate service. Brownstone Research is a reputable company, and Jeff Brown has established a remarkable track record over time.

For instance, he recommended companies like Square, AMD, NVIDIA, and Tesla to his readers years ago, before they went on to see significant returns. He also first recommended bitcoin at $248.

That doesn’t mean you’ll get rich following his recommendations. In fact, there’s no guarantee you’ll make any money at all following his investment ideas. And I’m not sure what the average return of his recommendations has been, either.

Still, The Near Future Report isn’t a scam. There’s always a chance you could lose money, but that’s true with any investment service you join because nobody knows what the future holds.

Who Is Jeff Brown?

Jeff Brown is the founder and chief investment analyst of Brownstone Research, and he edits at least six of the company’s advisories.

The Near Future Report is the company’s flagship entry-level service. But he runs several others, including Exponential Tech Investor, Early Stage Trader, and Blank Check Speculator, which are more expensive and focus on different investments.

Most of his stock picks are reserved for paid subscribers. However, I recently published an article detailing Jeff Brown’s 2022 predictions. And in that post, I detail some of the sectors he’s bullish on and link to other articles I’ve written about different stocks he’s teased in recent months.

Aside from sharing stock picks, Jeff Brown works with tech-related startups as an active angel investor. And before getting into finance, he was a tech executive for several large companies for 25 years according to the Brownstone Research website.

Bottom Line

Jeff Brown’s “The End of the Dollar” presentation centers around how he believes a digital dollar could soon be released in the U.S. and the impact this could have on everyday Americans.

Some of the statements Jeff Brown made in the presentation were a bit concerning. However, in my opinion, the “doom and gloom” narrative is (at least partly) a marketing angle used to sell his newsletter service. So, I suggest taking the presentation with a grain of salt.

That said, he did make some interesting points about historical events related to monetary policy, how we could soon see a digital dollar, and the potential impact this could have.

And, assuming his “Escape Plan” pick is bitcoin, then it’s nice to see a finance “guru” like Jeff Brown recommending a quality asset instead of an overhyped, fly-by-night altcoin project.

I also think bitcoin could stand to benefit greatly from the introduction of a digital dollar given its unique properties (i.e., it’s a decentralized store of value with a hard-capped supply).

That said, I’m not suggesting you go out and buy bitcoin. That’s up to you. Nor am I suggesting bitcoin will always go up in price. I believe it’s got a bright future ahead, but anything could happen.

And regardless of what Jeff Brown’s recommending, there’s no guarantee his picks will help you make money. There’s even a chance you could lose money because investing is risky.

So if you are going to join The Near Future Report, I recommend taking a long-term view of things because not every investment he recommends has been, or will be, a winner.

In any case, thanks for reading; I hope you found this helpful.

  1. Thank you for the write up on Jeff Browns Near Future Report. I have been a member, AND Have LOST A BUNDLE LISTENING TO HIM. He is always very sincere about his services. Then you jump in hoping the gains he made during the market crash in March 2020 when everyone in their mother made a killing buying into so many different things related to stay at home, work from home, etc. Mr Brown is a Marketing Genius. I have personally lost over $50K investing with him. Ouch to all of you out there??? STAY AWAY FROM HIM AND HIS CRAP. My service will end in Feb. 2023. I was with him form 2 years. Lost 50K thanks to him. – He sells FEAR. He talks about the laws that have been past to enact U.S. Govt. Digital Currency. With Inflation up, spiraling debt, an energy crisis, I doubt this country is now going to go to Digital currency. I doubt the Fed is going to START A NATIONAL BANK HOLIDAY, have the Govt. buy up all the banks as he claims, shut the banking Industry down for 4-6 weeks, freeze credit cards, and lock up cash. This is his claim to all of you out there. Then he proposes once the Digital Currency is enacted, your cash in savings accounts, checking accounts, IRAs, 403B’s,. Pension Funds are the Governments to use to pay off ALL IT’S NATIONAL DEBT! Can you imagine the uprising in this country.
    ANYONE WANT TO TAKE A STAB AT THIS? Tim, thank you for your Honesty. Bitcoin will one day be used as a tool. So few accept it as an everyday way of life for converting goods and serviced as exchanged by Bitcoin. Mr Brown talks about the Blockchain and how it will impact Bitcoin. Once the Blockchain is built, and finished, Bitcoin can be latched onto using a Fed. Coin digital card, where Bitcoin thru the Blockchain will be accepted to buy Gasoline, or a loaf of bread and groceries at supermarkets. THIS WILL TAKE TIME READERS. –
    P.SD>: Mr. Grown touts – SQUARE as the link to Bitcoin and digital currency and his articles that I have read over and over pushing SQUARE. As of now, I am down 60% -MR. BROWN!!- Thank you for the outstanding Financial Advice – STAY AWAY FROM
    THE NEAR FUTURE REPORT. All hype, Horrible losses that I have suffered, and he continues to make money peddling Bull Sh-t.
    Mr. E

Most of us are having a hard time because no one is being honest with us. They try to pull us in and at the very end, hit us up for $39, $49, $79, or more but none of them are telling us how to get the report if we are already a member. I have told all my friends and family about you. They all agree that we learn more from you then anyone else. I’m so glad that I found your website. You are doing Awesome job!!!
