YoungHoon Kim, the Guinness World Record holder for the highest IQ at 276, announced that he has converted all his assets into Bitcoin, calling it “the only hope for the future economy.”
Kim, known as a Grand Master of Memory, made the declaration Sept. 29, saying that while he believes Bitcoin will reshape the global financial system, “everything I own belongs only to Lord Jesus.”
Bitcoin, launched in 2009, is the world’s largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $2.27 trillion. Kim has previously predicted exponential gains for the digital asset and now forecasts its price will increase 100-fold within the next decade — potentially surpassing $10 million per coin.
He also described Bitcoin as the “ultimate reserve asset,” predicting it will one day replace gold, foreign currencies, and U.S. Treasuries as the world’s primary store of value.
In March, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a federal Bitcoin strategic reserve. However, the U.S. government has not yet established one, despite holding 198,021 BTC worth roughly $22 million, according to BitcoinTreasuries.
