YoungHoon Kim, who holds the world record for highest IQ of 276, has revealed converting all his assets into Bitcoin.
Launched in 2009, Bitcoin is the world's largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $2.27 trillion.
Kim, who earlier predicted an exponential Bitcoin price rally, shared on Sep. 29,
"As the world's highest IQ record holder and Grand Master of Memory, I believe that Bitcoin is the only hope for the future economy."
The belief drove him to convert all his assets into Bitcoin, he said.
Kim reveals shocking Bitcoin prediction
Last week, Kim predicted that Bitcoin will grow at least 100 times within the next 10 years. If his forecast comes true, the king coin's price will be worth more than $10 million within 10 years.
He also predicted Bitcoin's future as the "ultimate reserve asset" universally. It means not gold, foreign currencies, or U.S. Treasuries, but Bitcoin will become the universal reserve asset as per Kim.
In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a federal Bitcoin strategic reserve. However, it doesn't mean the government will convert its gold or forex reserves.
Though the U.S. government owns 198,021 BTC worth $22 million as per BitcoinTreasuries , no strategic Bitcoin reserve has been created yet.
