‘World’s highest IQ holder’ makes shocking cryptocurrency prediction that would send shockwaves through market

We’re back with the world’s highest IQ, and while that honor ‘officially’ goes to Marilyn vos Savant, that’s only because the Guinness World Records retired the title due to controversy in 1990.

Even though vos Savant has a lofty 228, others have since been supposedly granted astronomical highs, including Marnen Laibow-Koser's 268, Ainan Cawley's 263, and Terence Tao's 230.

In 2025, it’s said that YoungHoon Kim is the world’s ‘smartest’ man with an unheard of 276.

Despite skeptics saying Kim has awarded himself that title without being properly tested, it’s something he proudly displays on his social channels and as head of the Neuralink-esque NeuroStory.

Having claimed he’s 100% sure that God exists, and explained why artificial intelligence will never be able to replace us flesh and blood humans, YoungHoon Kim has now spoken out about cryptocurrency and his own predictions for the meteoric rise of XRP.

Although Kim has only recently started posting about XRP, it seems to be the horse he’s currently backing, with wild claims it could climb to $100 in the next five years.

This would still be some way off Bitcoin’s current $88,000, but given that XRP typically lies between $0.5 and $1, this would be a jump of biblical proportions.

After all, supposed crypto experts were wrong about Bitcoin hitting those proposed $200,000 peaks.

Kim was previously known to throw his weight behind Bitcoin, and recently started courting Dogecoin, as his critics maintain the XRP pivot is for engagement bait.

In a recent deluge of pro-XRP posts, Kim has also said: “If you have a higher IQ, then you may be more likely to hold #XRP.”

He's since gone even further, spectacularly claiming that all of the world's capital is going to flow into XRP.

In some scenario where XRP manages to hit $100, it would make it one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies on the market, so is it a simple case of Kim being an early backer?

Responding to his latest slew of crypto spam, one person said: “You literally prove with each tweet that you are actually r*tarded.”

Another added: “Your IQ just decreased by 200 points."

A third complained: "Bro, these kinds of posts are clearly showing even your intelligence is clearly flawed lol. $XRP is a sh*tcoin and they either pay you to say this or you have no clue what you’re talking about."

As usual, most of Kim’s posts are filled with those calling out his supposed 276 IQ, while others have noted he’s moved away from his typical posts about religion.
