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.
