South Korean YoungHoon Kim Announces He Sold All His Assets to Invest in Bitcoin and Also Promises to Create a “Second Bitcoin”

The South Korean YoungHoon Kim, who claims to have the highest IQ in the world, announced on X that he sold all his assets to buy Bitcoin. He explained that he believes this is the only way to preserve financial future.

“I believe that Bitcoin is the only hope for the future economy. That’s why I converted all my assets into Bitcoin,” he wrote in a post made on Monday (29).

The decision drew attention because it reinforces his radical stance towards the cryptocurrency market.

Idea to Create a “Second Bitcoin”

Despite advocating for Bitcoin as a solution, Kim has already indicated another plan. On the 27th, he published that he intends to launch his own digital currency.

According to him, this new cryptocurrency will be called “second Bitcoin,” and he himself declares to be the “second Satoshi Nakamoto.” The justification mixes politics and religion.

“Today I decided to found the second Bitcoin as the second Satoshi Nakamoto — to support the Make America Great Again movement and establish the Lord’s churches worldwide, in the name of Jesus Christ.,” he wrote.

Questions About Kim’s IQ

The title of “highest IQ in the world” is one of the most controversial points surrounding Kim. Community notes on X highlight that there is no reliable evidence that he has achieved an IQ of 276, as he claims.

According to these notes, his own Wikipedia page uses sources linked to websites managed by him.

Moreover, Kim maintains self-promotional portals related to cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and global advice.

Highest IQ in the World? Vice Investigation

A report by Vice reinforced these doubts. The outlet had access to a test used by Kim and presented it to IQ measurement specialists.

All said it is not possible for the score to be 276.

For the specialists, the most likely number would be between 160 and 172. Still, Vice revealed that in a test called VNPT-II, Dr. Kirk Raymond Butt had assigned 210 points to Kim.

The controversy increases because Kim reportedly adjusted the calculation. He used a standard deviation of 24, higher than the common 15, to artificially inflate his score.

This way, he sought to justify the supposed record he promotes on social media.

Repercussions

Kim’s statements mix bold investments, religion, politics, and disputes over intelligence.

Therefore, the case gained significant online traction, especially among supporters and critics of cryptocurrencies.

Repercussions

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

If you are obtaining or renewing your driver’s license, you need to know this now: a new law divides the fee into stages, and those who choose only the digital license will not have to pay for the printed document in 2026.

The federal government projects a gain of nearly R$ 17 billion from oil boosted by the war in the Middle East and assesses the direct effects on revenue, inflation, and fiscal decisions in Brazil.

The construction of the Polar Ship Almirante Saldanha is progressing ahead of schedule and strengthens Brazil’s presence in Antarctica; the vessel will be 93 meters long, have a two-month autonomy, and technology to face ice.

After decades of failed attempts, Brazil is once again looking to space with an orbital rocket measuring 12 meters, weighing 12 tons, costing R$ 189 million, and scheduled for launch in 2026, in a new race to finally achieve autonomous access to orbit.

The Earth will plunge into a few minutes of darkness in broad daylight in August 2026, when a total solar eclipse transforms the sky into one of the most impressive astronomical phenomena in recent years.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.
