My name is John Engel.

I’m a senior technology analyst at Stansberry Research, one of the largest independent financial research firms in the world.

Our research firm serves a quarter-million readers in over 100 countries, and our work has been featured in Reuters … Bloomberg… MarketWatch… Fox Business Network… Forbes… and more.

Since our beginning 20 years ago, we’ve uncovered some of the biggest and most important technological trends in the world – and told our readers about them years before anyone else.

Back then, our founder, Porter Stansberry, was among the first financial writers to describe the monumental changes the internet would cause in our economy and our society.

He recommended Amazon in March 1999 at $59 a share…

Had you bought shares then and held on to today, you’d be up 2,872%.

We recommended the medical robotics company Intuitive Surgical all the way back in 2004… before an astounding rise of 8,785%.

If you’d invested just $5,000 back then and held on, you’d be sitting on over $440,000 today.

The following year, we recommended the medical device company Align Technology, which has gone on to return 2,500%,

And we’ve routinely shown readers gains like these:

592% on JDSU

233% on CELG

215% on IDBE

207% on ELN

166% on AKAM

136% on VHI

130% on EXC

138% on TRGP

128% on ATVI

…thanks to our accurate predictions about trends like smartphones, genomics, the Internet of Things, 5G, and mobile payments – years in advance.

Barron’s called us “remarkably prescient.”

But today, we’re sharing a new prediction… one that we expect will produce far bigger returns than anything we’ve uncovered in the last 20 years.

In short, we predict Bitcoin and every other cryptocurrency to date have only been laying the groundwork for a much bigger crypto revolution centered on “ID Coin.”

Which means that getting a stake in ID Coin technology today may be your last real chance to make a fortune in the crypto market.

You see, using ID Coin technology is not the same thing as actually owning a stake in it.

Just like being an early user of Amazon or Google wouldn’t have paid you a dime.

But if you understood what was coming… Google shares could have made you more than 21 times your money.

And Amazon… a staggering 1,000x return – enough to turn every $5,000 into more than $5 million.

That’s why, once you understand ID Coin’s potential, you’ll realize you still haven’t missed the most important breakthrough in the crypto technology space.

It’s just like with internet stocks…

Amazon and Google were not the first movers in their markets. Other retailers and search engines came first.

They were simply the winners who solved the most problems… did it better… and outlived the early “Wild West” days of the web.

And that’s exactly what we predict ID Coin is positioned to do today, for the entire cryptocurrency market.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this crypto-based technology has the potential to be far bigger (and a better-performing investment) than Bitcoin… Ethereum… Ripple… Dashcoin… Zcash or any other crypto you may have heard of.

Not bad considering that just in the past three years…

• You could have made 14 times your money on Bitcoin…
• 14 times your money on Ethereum…
• And 50 times your money on Ripple.

But the gains you could make from ID Coin could soon be greater than all three of these cryptos, put together.

Now – with “first generations” cryptos booming again – the timeline for mass adoption of ID Coin has sped up – big time. Meaning that if you’re going get in… you’ll need to do it quickly to see the biggest potential gains.

But the opportunity has gotten bigger as well.

After all, Bitcoin has already risen more than 16 million percent since its launch.

On a promise of replacing money as we know it – a promise that hasn’t even been fulfilled!

The reality is: governments hate Bitcoin and have tried everything to keep it from going mainstream.

They were never going to let an unregulated currency replace our monetary system.

But with ID Coin technology – it’s just the opposite. This technology will save them trillions of dollars… and end the threat of cyberattacks from enemies like China… Iran… and North Korea.

So, while government officials have publicly badmouthed Bitcoin… what do you think they’ve been doing privately?

Ignoring the entire crypto revolution and just hoping it’ll go away?

Of course not.

They’ve been quietly preparing – laying the groundwork to use ID Coin to secure every last shred of digital data – from our classified battle plans to your tax returns and your Social Security card.

That’s why ID Coin could soon make Bitcoin look tiny in comparison.

After all, there are 48 regular companies that are bigger than all of Bitcoin put together.

Its total value is about the same as Toyota… or the British bank HSBC.

Frankly, that’s nothing compared to a technology that could end hacking and provide a secure identity to every person on Earth.

Of course, with national security on the line… the U.S. government is saying as little as possible about ID Coin for now.

Which is why you’ll rarely see any mention of ID Coin in the mainstream press.

I’m lucky to work with several of the world’s leading experts on cryptos and information security, like Eric Wade, who grew up studying cryptography in Los Alamos, New Mexico, while his parents worked in the nuclear program.

That’s how I’ve gotten far deeper access to this story than any other researcher or reporter I know of.

I’m sharing this with you because I believe, if you act now, you could easily see gains of 500% or more in the coming years.

The key is: You must get in before this technology goes mainstream.

Now, ID Coin is just starting to get more attention.

But the biggest breakthrough will come when the U.S. government officially adopts ID Coin technology and rolls it out to every American citizen as a new and better form of the Social Security number.

Here’s the full story…

Hacking is the world’s fastest-growing criminal enterprise.

It cost an estimated $600 billion worldwide in 2017. (Some estimates are significantly higher.)

And that number is expected to grow tenfold by 2021.

Since 2013, hackers have stolen nearly 15 billion individual “records” — such as name and password combinations… credit card numbers… you name it. A rate of more than 4,000 records per minute – every minute of every day.

In the U.S., there were more than 1,500 major data breaches in 2017… and more than half of them involved customers’ Social Security numbers.

Equifax alone lost 145 million. That’s more than half the adult population of the U.S.

When this happens to you… it’s a nightmare.

“It ruined me financially and emotionally,” said Dave C. from Bowie, MD, after someone racked up more than $900,000 of charges in his name.

He spent another $100,000 trying to fix the damage, unsuccessfully. He lost his retirement fund… his job… his reputation. He considered suicide.

Then there’s this heartbreaking story from Washington, D.C….

New parents Sean and Erin were on the verge of closing on their dream home… and ended up losing $1.57 million instead.

The Washington Post reports:

“Their wire transfer of settlement funds was hijacked after cyberthieves reportedly penetrated a title and escrow company’s email system and steered the money to their own account.”

Right now… there’s almost nothing you can do to prevent getting hacked.

It could happen because you have a weak password…

…because your password was stolen by an invisible “keystroke logger” hidden on your computer…

…by using a poorly secured public Wi-Fi network…

Or simply because you used an ATM or gas station card reader and had your credit card “skimmed” by a tiny device.

The point is: If you haven’t been hacked yet – you’ve been lucky.

But don’t expect that luck to last.

It WILL happen to you, too… and there’s a good chance it’s happening to you right now, without you even knowing it.

As Jeremiah Grossman, chief strategist for cybersecurity firm SentinelOne, says:

“It’s a safe assumption that everyone’s Social Security number has been compromised and their identity data has been stolen.”

Don’t feel bad, though…

Guess who else has been hacked?

The Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Trump Organization.

The CIA.

The NSA.

The City of Baltimore, Maryland.

And nearly the entire nation of Bulgaria – 5 million adults.

And get this…

Ever heard of the company LifeLock, whose sole mission is to protect consumers from having their identities stolen?

The CEO put his personal info online to prove that it works.

Instead, he had his own identity stolen 13 different times.

Even the head of the IRS recently advised all Americans to “assume their data is already in the hands of criminals and act accordingly.”

But all of this is FINALLY about to end.

We’ll remember it like polio… payphones… and dial-up internet.

Movies about hacking will be “period pieces” for nostalgic millennials.

The “ID Coin” that will end hacking – and save the world an estimated $6 trillion per year – is not some fantasy.

As Jerry Cuomo, a vice president at IBM working on ID Coin technology, put it:

“Imagine a world where you are in direct control of your personal information; a world where you can limit and control how much information you share while retaining the ability to transact in the world. This is self-sovereign identity, and it is already here.”

As I’ll show you… entire countries are already using this technology.

Now the United States is next. I believe the government will soon roll out this crypto technology to every citizen…

…putting an end to hacking within our borders, forever.

And minting quite a few millionaires in the process.

By investing in ID Coin right now, you can directly own a piece of this technology… and make multiple times your money as it becomes a household name across all 50 states.

Best of all… you don’t need to jump through any hoops to invest, like with Bitcoin.

You don’t need to open a “crypto account”… or an internet “wallet.”

In short, if you ever wish you’d bought even a single Bitcoin back when it cost $20… before the price shot up 50,477%… well, today you have the same type of opportunity with ID Coin… but with far bigger upside.

Keep in mind… the $6 trillion potential in ID Coin technology is roughly 23 times bigger than every other cryptocurrency in the world today put together.

In a moment, I’ll show you how to get in… and why it’s so much easier (and safer) compared to typical cryptocurrencies.

As you’ll see, it all goes back to something every single one of us has suffered over the past few decades…

The total loss of our privacy.

Americans have been giving up their privacy for so long… you’ve probably stopped noticing.

Think about it…

It’s outrageous that a bartender can learn your address and know where you and your family sleep – simply because you want a drink.

But that’s how things stand today… because our systems for proving we are who we say we are haven’t changed in more than a century.

Which is why even our own federal government thinks we should abolish Social Security numbers.

White House cybersecurity head Rob Joyce said, “I feel very strongly that the Social Security number has outlived its usefulness. It’s a flawed system. Every time we use the Social Security number, we put it at risk.”

Social Security numbers were never even meant to serve as an ID. The flimsy paper cards don’t even have a photo or any type of security feature whatsoever!

Now… we’re asked to surrender this information everywhere.

But all of this can be stopped – virtually overnight.

And it’s not just the government that would save billions – even trillions – in the coming years.

Two of the biggest U.S. banks spend a combined $1.4 billion a year on cybersecurity.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called cybersecurity risks the “biggest threat to the U.S. financial system.”

And Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said cyberdefense was “the only place in the company that doesn’t have a budget constraint.”

For hospitals, cybersecurity breaches cost an estimated $408 per patient – twice as much as in the financial industry.

Bad news considering that 82% of hospital technology leaders said they experienced a “significant security incident” in the last year.

The threats, of course, will only continue to grow – to governments, businesses, and people.

So, the choice is simple – pour trillions into beefing up password-protected databases that have barely changed since the dawn of computing…

Or implement ID Coin… and put an end to every kind of hacking once and for all.

It all starts with a simple code that looks like this:

1KyeBoM2XveqjGUQEcK3qgaxbn1bDFZvwU

“The prior consent of an individual is required each and every time that individual is identified.”
— U.S. government technology magazine FCW

Having an ID Chain code like this is like putting all your most important information into an ultra-secure vault that no one can ever break into.

The only person who can ever grant access to the vault is you.

You get to decide exactly what comes out of the vault… who gets to see it… and for how long.

For example, you can pull up your date of birth — and nothing else — and make it available to a bartender.

Here’s a simple prototype in action (press the play button):

You can even set a condition that your birthdate only appears for a moment so the bartender can confirm it… before it goes right back in.

When applying for a loan, you can call up more detailed information – like your salary history – and approve it for sharing with the bank.

All of this could soon be done on a single app on your phone… through a website… or even with a memory stick.

Like Bitcoin, this new technology is based online and isn’t dependent on any single piece of hardware that can be stolen or lost.

I know this idea may seem scary – putting so much sensitive information in one place.

But that’s only because we’re used to a world where all your data is vulnerable to hackers… and where it’s everyone else who decides how and when your information is used.

With ID Coin, that all ends today.
