Could this be a bullish sign to come going into the new year?

He does not know what he is saying.

Let us begin the count down.

This is old news because I'm sure I read about this "genius" on this forum, but also on ATT a few weeks ago. Then he stated that the price would jump x100 ($10 million).

Neither has it been confirmed that he has such an IQ, nor does the man have any credibility to talk about the price of BTC. A man just using BTC to promote something completely different - he is not the first or the last to do so.

This one is different.

This one was posted some hours ago or yesterday in some countries.

This is the original post:
https://x.com/yhbryankimiq/status/1990178414171685112?t=hIMMw97zhqi76yBhmUvmZA&s=19

Maybe we should not put much interest in what was said by this man, or maybe we should look into whether he's a whale holder or just an enthusiast, if at all he has the potential to make the market shift by buying or dumping large amounts, we can partly believe in what he said, for now we still have $126,000 all time high, it's merely impossible to have $220,000 by next year, and that's if we are not going to have the introduction of bear season by then.

Are those with high IQs gifted with the gift of foresight? They may be very smart, but they can't predict the future; it's not the same thing.

I can bet 0.01 BTC that this will age like dogshit wrapped in catshit. If anyone believes this "smart person", please, you're welcomed to take the bet. Also, there's no proof that this guy is the smartest person.

Doesn't it feel so good that bitcoin humiliates these "intelligent people"? So many smartasses and economists throughout the years, making bareless speculation, all aging like milk. Hodling bitcoin is the cure to the ego.

People be confusing high IQ for crystal balls :D I can’t wait for this prediction to be nothing, then the guy deletes the tweet, we all forget about him and another “smart guy” makes another prediction that never turns true.

This dude is a fraud. He literally uses this title for everything, like he is some kind of super human with infinite powers. :P

All of his X posts start with "As World's Highest IQ Record Holder, I believe XYZ" ... no joke. https://x.com/yhbryankimiq

I responded to that statement with skepticism, as I have been doing technical analysis on Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole for years. When I saw that statement, I immediately opened TradingView to assess the possibilities, but so far I haven’t found any indication that supports it.

I even mentioned, when Bitcoin was still at $103,077, that its price had the potential to reach around $82,800 here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg66037432#msg66037432) and the explanation is available there based on technical analysis using several indicators.

Regarding that person’s statement in a previous post on X, where he was holding a Holy Bible, he wrote, “We do not believe in the unidentified.”
So what does that have to do with Bitcoin? He claimed that Bitcoin will hit $220,000 within the next 45 days. Isn’t that something unknown? He didn’t present any data neither technical nor fundamental, to support that claim.

Is that this mans genuine twitter account because that video looks to be a deep fake if you watch it closely enough?

I like his cause if bitcoin goes $220k based on his speculation. Because he's said that his profit will go into spreading the word of God.

But aside from that, since not everyone is a believer in the forum and with the audience he's got. Let's all wait and see if this high IQ has got it takes to have that record by being accurate with his prediction.

I guess that those who are still waiting for some highs are going to be encouraged by his prediction. Not going to burst anyone's bubble but, we have to wait and see at the very end of this year.

I've heard a lot of these big guys that have their own titles predicted good prices of Bitcoin but none of them shoot in accuracy.

The online world is so funny these days that even some random guy claiming to have the highest IQ makes Bitcoin price predictions as if he can see into the future.
But that's it, everyone can freely analyze the price of Bitcoin, there are no limits to doing this. But from all of that there is a reasonable analysis and there is also a completely baseless or purely speculative analysis that was made just to follow along. And what this guy said probably falls more into the latter category.

We have wake up to different predictions about Bitcoin this year, many have turned to be failed predictions. Now we have the world highest IQ holder who want to try his own prediction on Bitcoin, I don't know whether he thinks Bitcoin price prediction to get correctly is measured by someone level of intelligence to get it correctly. I just wonder.

Well, the crypto space welcomes all manner of predictions at all times. We will be here in 45 days to talk about what price Bitcoin would be in January.

World's largest fraud says something! Nobody cares!

Btw, the only organization that recognizes his IQ is USIA, or "UNITED SIGMA INTELLIGENCE ASSOCIATION"
Guess who is the founder and president of this association:
https://www.usiassociation.org/council

I made this post about the world highest IQ guy I believe he is the same person
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5560711.msg65862797#msg65862797
The post is about the highest IQ guy going all in on bitcoin.

If he actually has the record of the highest IQ in the world he should know that the volatility of bitcoin can make predictions of bitcoin price senseless.
He is just seeing the potential in bitcoin when he could have used that IQ to get a long time ago but now he is using his IQ record to draw attention to himself in bitcoin.

I think it is much better if it is worded differently. Something along the lines of 'self-acclaimed world's record highest IQ holder', lol, that sounds better and would save people from verifying if the fraud is actually who he says he is. However, it is easy to get attention with BTC, ask Peter Schiff; so i just ignore people like him and Kim. If he really knew what BTC price would be at a certain time, he would not need to tell us, he would know exactly what to do.

Does his IQ mean that he's a very good economist? Does his IQ mean he  has some insider information? Well my point is everyone is analysing the current market condition based on the bias they perceive and some based on the FOMO they are experiencing while others because they see people analysing.

I'll in my opinion I'll say we are in quite an uncertain trend even if we are more into a downward movement.

I have some doubts about whether or not he is actually the man with the world's highest IQ (or even a man with a relatively high IQ).  I would think if he is the so called smartest man alive, he would know that having a high IQ doesn't translate to you automatically being a great predictor of financial markets.  How long has he even been following Bitcoin?  I just started hearing about this guy a couple months ago.  Seems to me like some sort of internet scam and because he put a date on it, his time of relevance now has a countdown clock.

Who is he? With a high IQ degree able to see the future? Hmm maybe he will become a billionaire if his guess is correct.  ;D

Just assume about predictions with high IQ.
- He probably wants the price of BTC to go up because he sees it going down due to panic.
- Then use the fame of high IQ and then make a video of an exercise that can be convincing.
- I'm skeptical.

But if you are curious, wait until December 31. :P

So are we meant to simply trust the prediction because he has the title of having a high IQ? I think that title was added to get people who are moved by such to believe him.

If you have invested long enough in bitcoins, I am sure you by now know that nobody, regardless of the title they have on their name, has 100% certainty with their predictions.

Something negative can happen in the next 45 days that will force a dip in the value that Bitcoin is holding currently.

1. Probably an AI video.
2. Nobody can predict the market in such a short time frame. Had he predicted $200k in the next 12 months, fine, but 1.5m? That's just dumb.
3. Intelligence has nothing to do with the way you can predict a price. If he's so smart, why isn't he a millionaire predicting stock prices left and right?

Funny thing that 6 months ago all these analysts were saying "buy bitcoin! 150k around the corner" now they're all saying 50k around the corner :D

As far as I understand this person's statement, he is basing his prediction on the previous information about Bitcoin price movement and adds a little exaggeration to it.  Honestly, there is nothing special or worth noting about this guy's prediction. I don't know why the article has featured this guy's prediction, are they capitalizing this guy's title of having the highest IQ?  If that is the case, that is very lame.

Now that you're saying it, his mouth movements while talking seem a little off, but we might be wrong as well. Sometimes, it's quite hard to distinguish if a video is AI or not. Supposing it's not, I firstly doubt that he has such an IQ, I call it bluff and an attention stunt. Bitcoin is quite popular and it being mentioned by a so-called genius would quickly receive a lot of attention. Secondly, I'm also having a hard time believing that bitcoin is going to surpass $220,000 within the next 45 days.

Let the countdown begin, I don't like smartasses.

Is high-IQ people can predict the market right now? I mean maybe there’s something that he knows or maybe insider info? or maybe he correlates everything and end up having that kind of conclusion.

The current market is full of market manipulations, but let’s see, the next fed update is 3 weeks from now, maybe it could be the reason and there are news that they will cut rates that could possibly pump crypto market. But of course, it’s 100% sure, just always consider everything since a cautious man will always have the advantage on the movements.

Well I agree with him and I think we might have a short term bottom here and we should start to head upwards as long as we don’t print a new low.

However I don’t think Bitcoin will double in 45 days. It’s pretty much $90K and I think if it recovers strongly we might approach the ATH but I doubt we will break it and head to $220K.

This is no different than those people claiming bitcoin will reach $1M in 2017.

It’s obvious by looking at his twitter posts that this guy is a scammer. A lot of big accounts keep amplifying him because his statements make for good clickbait, but nobody has bothered to verify his claims of having the highest IQ. The scam is working out well for him as he’s been hired as an ambassador for Trump’s crypto project World Liberty Financial, as well as Pudgy Penguins and Cointelegraph. It’s like giving a platform to Craig Wright.

He probably does have a very high IQ that has been certified here or there but its a pretty good gig if you can get it: just taking money for saying "I have the world's highest IQ and I enjoy Farmer John's Hot Dogs," or enter product placement here. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on anyway. He gets paid to do promotions one at a time. Not too much different than a Cameo but he has his own thing going on.

I checked, he truly believes he's certified:

https://x.com/yhbryankimiq/status/1987332980667531706

Highest IQ man could be anything in terms of problem-solving stuff, just like any best scientist we have. But predicting things out of a stuff with volatile aspects? I don't think its very possible for only 45 days. I might believe if he said in the next 1-2 years since long-term trends are more reasonable to analyze but only for more than a month? If Bitcoin doesn't reach the price he claimed, he'll just end up becoming a laughingstock after those 45 days.

Haha Xd I don’t know if he is tryina drop some of his IQ points on purpose or if he is actually super smart and just trying to build popularity in this exact timing knowing well that nothing he said will really happen, but people will react and hype him up anyway. Another possibility is that it’s just his crazy genius side showing, which a lot of very smart people have. Think of Einstein, one of the smartest minds in history, but he also had that crazy unpredictable side.

As for BTC hitting $220k in just 45 day, well, I and most everone here don’t see that happening unless some kind of miraculous event occurs. It’s fun to see predictions like this and it might create some hype going into the new year, but hype is meaningless without actual positive news around.

I've seen a lot of tweets about this guy from various sources today, and he's certainly garnered a lot of attention following the Bitcoin correction. However, given his capacity as a savvy figure, I agree with the bullish sentiment for Bitcoin. Furthermore, we still want to see Bitcoin grow, although we must remain cautious. Reaching $220,000 will require a significant boost, and those factors are unlikely to come overnight. Financial inflows from various institutions, or a country as wealthy as the US officially declaring its full support for Bitcoin, would certainly fuel healthy bullish momentum.

for real tho everyone be acting like just cause you can solve a crazy math puzzle you can see the future bro btc a rollercoaster not a crystal ball he might be smart but that dont mean 220k in 45 days is anything more than hype and fomo honestly im just gonna sit back hodl my stack and laugh when this ages like milk like every other prediction

if he really knew he wouldnt need to tweet it he would just quietly get rich instead of flexing the "worlds highest iq" title on x anyway lets see how this plays out cant wait to see the memes when the countdown ends.

A self proclaimed world's highest IQ now wants to tell the world how bitcoin will perform? I don't want to have to laugh at that statement so I will say to just let things play, 45 days will come roughly around the start of the new year so it's not that far off anymore, if his prediction comes out as true then he is either one lucky gambler or he is actually a genius but bitcoins price more than doubling in just over a month isn't a feat that people can't just easily believe, after all bitcoins profit mainly comes in the long term and 2 months isn't that

Experience is better then I.Q
I don't think it will go up 2,20,000$
Btc start to going down cycle again and may be it will touch 76k and up maximum 100,000 $ again within January 2026 !

He is a fraud, there have been many allegations that his highest IQ title is fake, unverified and unaccredited. The international IQ community does not recognize him and calls him a Korean IQ scammer.
But even if he had a high IQ, his predictions would not be reliable, because a high IQ does not mean being able to predict the future. We should not assume that high IQ means smart, high IQ means knowing everything or being good at everything. I wonder, if he is so good that he can predict the future, why did he invest in bitcoin quite late, even many years after us?

Is there any reason he is not the world's richest person yet? High IQ (beyond a certain point) means nothing. I will take Donald trump's (opposite of OP in the focused trait lol) words about Bitcoin's future rather than trusting him.
BTW Bitcoin don't need such fuds in order to be above $200k and it can drop to 50-70k but it hardly matters for long term. And $220 in within 45 days is just a fud, nothing else.   
   

Pride goes before a fall and at a point when somebody is being praised they will start to behave like small gods, they wouldn't know when they overstep the limit of their capacity. The highest IQ guy cannot accurately give a date when Bitcoin will hit a perticular price unless he controls the market which I doubt. Anyway his IQ will be tested as we countdown to 45 days depending on when day 1 starts. If by coincidence or by his exceptional IQ skills his prediction happens I think that I would take him very seriously but if his prediction proves to be misleading like many others that we hear about then we will know that his IQ is a scam.

He is a fake genius and claims it by himself. No one with a high IQ goes to social media and says that I, as the highest IQ holder, think that God is real or that Trump is chosen by god. Today, everyone claims fake things for PR and marketing. Btw who creates these IQ tests and declares someone the smartest? How reliable are they? Who can come up with questions that can be answered by someone with 276 IQ? Albert Einstein's IQ was 160, this guy claims to have 276. What did he do in life? Did he invent anything extraordinary? He is posting on his Twitter, scamming people, that's his IQ.

There is no way Bitcoin will reach $200K in the next 45 days. There is simply no way.

well i'm not sure if there is going to be any such thing in the nearest future but there may be something closer maybe if pigs fly or maybe elon tweets a laser-eyed satoshi. i'll say may aroumd 10-15% odd to keep an eye on, but not bet the farm.

First heard about this guy about a month ago but did not take of what he was saying at the time much thought since bitcoin was around $116k.
This is what I must of read posted  from another member in their thread:

But now with bitcoin at going below $91k, well our minds tend to tune in abit more when anything bullish comes along. That is just how our brains seem to work.

At first I did think this was an AI agent because this is what an automated bot would say and add the whole they would build churches around the globe when it did seemed really farfetched.
Something Sam Bankman Fried were say so to keep the facade of being altruistic going.
So this character does seem to be created by AI along with a social media following and this:
His own made up company measured him with the highest IQ in the world.

He may have highest meaured IQ, but he is obviously a fool, as is anyone who claims bitcoin will reach certain price in xyz amount of days.

Even bigger fools are those who are listening to them and are acting based on their predictions.  :P

I'm confused as to why there's FOMO over this. Bitcoin will continue to rise even if he doesn't say so, and that's history repeating itself with Bitcoin. There's no reason to doubt Bitcoin's fundamentals, which continue to strengthen over time.

Bitcoin is the best thing right now. Many major investors believe in it and are willing to go all-in. I'm currently using the DCA method, and it makes me feel truly calm and comfortable. Love it.

Although guess of Bitcoin price to 220,000 within 45 days is highly exciting but we must be very careful about such specific target, as crypto market is highly unstable, and even smart people often make short term predictions of prices wrongly. Still, very fact that such types of highly sure statements are being shared is good sign of market trust, which is positive feeling that means that crypto market is likely to have good future in new year, although very high price target may never be reached.

honestly i do not care who tells me bitcoin will rise or drop i trust bitcoin enough to know
that it will eventually rise

i do not need to have an iq so high to know this although his iq probably allows him to see
market movements and make sense of them more efficiently but from previous market cycles
i am expecting for bitcoin to recover

iq does not equate to predicting the future accurately so take his words with a grain of salt but
like i say even if he does not say it, i will keep holding bitcoin

If people even checked historical price tends, they would know that January isn't exactly a month where we reach all time highs, or even have bull markets for the most part. It's sideways season.

And here you are, the world lowest IQ holder about to believe what he said.
Well, he's the smartest person so who are we to question his prediction on Bitcoin. Just invest responsibly.

For starters, we don’t have any reliable, broad statistical research linking crypto traders’ IQ scores to how well they actually do. Good luck finding any - the crypto market is still relatively new, and exchanges or regulators don’t exactly collect or publish investors’ IQ scores.
a high IQ might give you an easier time understanding the technical side and staying out of obvious trouble, but it’s nowhere near a golden ticket. Crypto rewards people who can stay calm, stick to their plan, and handle volatility without losing their heads.
So yeah, you can safely laugh off that kind of ,,prediction,,

Actually saw this on Linkedin (don't ask, it's job related) and was forced to comment (don't ask, job). Couldn't think of anything positive so I'll try and repeat what I said here in a softer tone but... when has IQ ever helped anyone to predict where Bitcoin would be in 45 days?

McAfee (okay, no citable IQ measurement but he was a math nerd prodigy at some young age) predicted 1 million. Years, years ago. And he probably knew a thing or two more about Bitcoin that this guy.

Even if he ends up being right, doesn't prove anything.

Sometimes (ok most of the times lol) the news is planted deliberately for big players to sell off without disrupting the market (ok without getting in the lime light). Recent price action might explain some causality. It was not about proving or disapproving but rather some other game (IMO).     

Respectfully, markets don’t care what anyone’s IQ score is – they only care about liquidity, flows, and who panics first on a 30% drawdown.  ;D

This is a very optimistic forecast, but judging by the current correction in Bitcoin, it is very difficult to believe. Right now, the price of Bitcoin is already $86,443, which is very far from $220,000. That genius with the highest IQ made his prediction on November 17, when Bitcoin was still around $95,000. It is possible that, given the current information, this forecaster would no longer be so optimistic. Growth, of course, but the figure of $220,000 is still too high for Bitcoin, especially reaching this peak in such a short period of time. Perhaps this person has some personal interest in making such a public statement. 

Right.  IQ or not, does he get something about Bitcoin we dont?  If he actually had some secret market-predicting trick, he would be making money quietly, not looking for attention online. 

I have been reading about his other "predictions", and this looks like just another in a long line of them.

Maybe those people with high IQ also has a little touch of sorcery, lol. Well, everyone can make speculation on the price of bitcoin so am not surprised with his prediction. Who knows, he might have a target of selling his bitcoin within that time so he's trying to forcefully project the price to his desired amount.

I am going to be honest with you bud, bitcoin isn't going to hit any $220,000 in any 45 days, stop dreaming and stop believing the rubbish some forks post online, I've seen this video a couple of times on X in the last couple of days and each time I watch it, it seems more and more that the video is a creation of an Ai, the video doesn't get close to appearing to be real..

But then, even if the video was and that indeed the world highest IQ  record holder did say that Bitcoin will hit $220k in 45 days, this is only but a prediction and not a prophecy, prediction some times happens but most time they don't, while prophesies most times may come to pass, but there are still other times it may not come to pass as well..
So, which ever we choose to look at this, there is absolutely nothing indicating  that what the guy said may happen, 45 days is just a month and 15 or 16 days, does the price of Bitcoin now look like something thats going to climb to $220k in just 30 and 15 days?

Yet another speculator in the making. Maybe this could be one of the regular claims by them to think that their predictions were accurate. I think such should be the least we are expecting, considering the fact that the market is currently declining. Let us watch and see how it goes then.

And this made his company claim that their CEO is the person with the highest IQ in the world, so legit, lol.

Anyway, it looks like this person is in for a bashing from the crypto community since the market has moved the opposite direction this guy is claiming.  I feel sorry for this guys it the content was AI generated and not actually his statement, but I did not read any refutation from this person, so I guess he is really the one who said that Bitcoin will be 220,000 in the next 45 days

What do we expect? Will those with above-average iq be able to make things that we can't know in the future? I think it's too much to try to make it seem like it's going to be bullish just because of what this guy said.

Even if we examine in his video he said “i expect” which of course this is just an expectation from him as a hodler and even most of us do expect the same thing and there is nothing that can really be used as a guide for a belief from this.

He is also just like us not knowing anything that will happen in the future so what makes this a thing that we can make a guide that bitcoin will achieve this.

I don't believe what that smart guy said at all, let's just count down, & I believe more in bitcoin going to $20k than $200k, I suspect that guy wants to create fomo when he hasn't said he bought it yet because his prediction is that bitcoin will go up if he talks, let's just see the results and hold your stomach so it doesn't hurt from laughing ;D

We'll figure out eventually whether the hgihest IQ record holder can actually predict things or just a bluff.

My speculation is that, I think $220k as a target is too difficult to achieve but $150k is very possible within that timeframe if only there is major good news.

Highest IQ don't predict the market, just as 99% of other humans, guess work!

The funny thing (or maybe tragic) thing is that the world's highest IQ holder has no idea what the market cap is and how realistic it is to double the whole market cap in the next 45 days. It took Bitcoin 15 years to achieve the current market cap of $1.7T and this was much higher when he dropped that silly prediction. How on earth can Bitcoin achieve the 2.6x of its current market cap in the next 45 days? Why do people think that Bitcoin magically grows? Why don't they look at the market cap?

If someone really considers his advice, shame on them because humans have brain to use, not to get used. By the way, was Charlie Kirk pointing to this guy when he said in one of his interview that even the world's highest IQ holder believes in god?

Having a high IQ does not mean we have to believe what they say, even though people who have a high IQ do have above average thinking, but if someone says that the price of Bitcoin will be able to reach $220k in just the next 45 days, then I personally do not agree with that statement. I am not pessimistic, but targeting the price of Bitcoin to be in that area will be impossible for Bitcoin, especially in such a short time. This year Bitcoin has created 2x ATH and usually after successfully creating a new ATH, the price of Bitcoin will experience a correction so it takes a little longer to be able to recover its price.

If there's someone who believed in the stranger prediction just because he has 276 IQ badge(selfclaim). He's clearly a dumbass. IQ has nothing to do with forecasting the market. Believing in this non sense prediction is just speed running delutional.

Other than that i've heard his own claim to be record holder of IQ is only his self claim without the proof.

It's not even accurate how the highest IQ entered the prediction club. This is another record!
Events quickly proved his claims to be nonsense, as instead of the price rising as he predicted, it began to fall to levels not seen since the start of the rise season. Actually bitcoin is at less than 84K and may decline more until the end of the year 2025.

It is indeed very possible, cause if it breaks its ATH in the next rally which will happen soon it'll head to around 200k, but from my own personal perspective, I don't see that happening, Bitcoin will soon reverse and enter its bearish phase for accumulation opportunity before getting to that 200k+

It is always a game with speculation my friend. I got off that train a long time ago and just enjoying the slipstream now. No or very little skin left in the game sadly, but can't help trying remind people that most of this is just noise and that price has always been little more than white noise.

A bit wistful if I'm honest that we didn't get a higher ATH but hey 125 was pretty dawned special.

He can have 700 IQ.  It does not change any thing.  He may be able to recognize patterns easier but even if he did there would still be a pretty good chance things can go in a different way.  There are a lot of smart people who hate Bitcoin, it does not mean any thing at all.

IQ is not a substitute for experience.

It's not just the guy with the highest IQ who thinks that way, many bitcoin investors also have similar or even crazier predictions. If I remember correctly, many people were predicting bitcoin to hit $250k or $300k this cycle before they lowered their expectations to $150k-180k when things didn't go well. Or even many believe that bitcoin will reach 1 million dollars by 2030-2035. I guess they don't do any analysis or look at market cap, or they don't know what those numbers mean.

Yes, people still brag about how bitcoin price has increased billions of times in the last 16 years. But they forget that it took 16 years to reach a market capitalization of 2 trillion. How can it grow to 10 trillion or 30 trillion in just 10 years?

It is not possible to believe that their predictions will always be correct. Michael Saylor's prediction about Bitcoin is that Bitcoin will exceed $150,000 by the end of 2025. So do you think it's possible?
Likewise, this celebrity's prediction that Bitcoin will exceed $220k by the end of this year is meaningless, especially during this dumping season his prediction is really baseless.

So it has zero meaning while the Price is dumping but it will have a lot of meaning again if there seems to be a recovery before the end of the year?  Be serious.  Most of these predictions are simply thrown around as a joke or for entertainment.  And people take the predictions WAY too seriously.

Did the Tate brothers not predict a Bitcoin crash to low levels after which they got rapidly liquidated?  Does this mean their predictions must be Trusted?

I don't care about anyone's prediction in this crypto world, I have been deceived too many times because I depend on some silly predictions from someone who doesn't know more than I do, but I underestimated myself, thinking I know nothing but later I always find out that I was more clever than they are I just don't trust myself.

The few times that I trusted my gut and avoid other people's advice have always worked better for me, problems start to occur when I entrust my ability into the hands of others, I have forgotten too soon that no one but yourself want the best for yourself. It won't happen ever again.

Not just 99% its probably 99.99 %. Nobody knows how the market will react to any news. One can try to manipulate it but at this point, only 1 or 2 major investors can do this out of millions, if not billions adopting Bitcoin. Anyways, we can just wait and watch on how the market will end up after the said 45 days are over.

Yeah, dude may hold the record, but I think on the digital space, he's just functioning as an influencer, I even came across posts he was predicting no more bear cycle for Bitcoin this year https://x.com/yhbryankimiq/status/1990910210584854865?t=tlXdiQxCWltT1J6HNu31Ew&s=19.

Now how can someone with such brain ability be using his brain only for market predictions instead of giving us some super innovation like Edison, Tim Lee, Henry Ford and Satoshi has done? He's just a mess of an IQ.

There are many sources and reports that confirm him as the most intelligent person in the world, but there are also many sources that reports him as a fraud. I believe that he is a fraud. On his X account, he promotes his own project... that is dubious. But you have to give him applause for one thing, he has turned his fraud into something big, and many media report him and his high IQ. So he has fooled them all. Bitcoin will also be strong without him.

This is nonsense

Firstly this guys credentials have been discussed here >

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5560711.msg65863520#msg65863520

He is by most counts a self professed high IQ holder. So just because someone has
high IQ doesnt mean they can predict the future.

So from the article above from a month ago where he states he has gone "all in" on Bitcoin
and with the current market position I guess he is $hitting his pants. So this prediction
could be an attempt to move the market  for his own benefit and to save face after making
such a bold move in public.

The gentleman with the super duper IQ could be on point actually as the recent halving occurred in April 2024, and here's what's important to note.. the BIGGEST gains come in the year AFTER the halving. Youre welcome.

I may not agree with him at this, because after 45 days and the market remains the same, this shows that he already failed and have also confused so many others, instead we should asked ourself if he truly speculate on that coming or make only a guess to what may probably come in place, because even the whales cannot predict on what to expect form the market anytime sooner, except from their analysis and research over the market performance.

Many Bitcoin investors who do this kind of crazy predictions have average, below average or slightly above average IQ. Here we are talking about someone with the highest IQ, which should logically be the smartest person and such a stupid statements from the smartest person should never be made. This is so stupid to say that Bitcoin will hit $200K in the next 45 days that even a below average IQ person wouldn't say this with that level of confidence.

1 million dollars per one Bitcoin by 2030-2035 won't likely happen but that prediction still makes some sense because we have a war, no one knows how it will end and no one knows how much dollar will USA print by 2035.

High IQ does not guarantee innovation.  Even they can do stupid things and ruin their lives.

I normally consider him a joke and someone that would likely engage in scam especially when he talked about Creating Bitcoin for Jesus, something of that nature. IQ doesn't mean a person would be smart or make the right decision. And when you use a title do too much it starts losing it's value.

Time in the market beat high IQ, you can be solving every puzzle in the world but if you're not in the market long enough you will roundtrip.

As for me I don't really believe Bitcoin can hit $220k within the next 45 day.

Probably recover back to $100k for the best scenario and if market keep bullish, it can go up climbing from there.

Puzzles can easily be solved for people with high IQ because its puzzle, they can't try the same thing with future price action, although I believe that if someone with high IQ can learn how to read charts it is likely that they will beat many professional traders, but at the same time market remains unpredictable too.

If someone who have high IQ was among the traders in the market on October they would have lost a lot of money just like many people did, having high IQ is welcome but it is not the same as seeing the future, many powerful people would still be alive today if they saw what happened in the future, they will be able to cheat death, accidents and assassination attempts on their lives.

This part of the post on x I had only seen after the one I posted in the OP.
Why connect bitcoin's increase in price with a topic about religion?
Just that made it more of selling a dream of hope than a something based on pure fact.
If he did have anywhere near a high IQ then he would explain more of why he thinks it will reach this price on that certain date. But the way bitcoin's price has fallen since they made that post on x it really does look like he was just full of hot air is all.

Charts are generally made of patterns and high IQ means they are much better at recognizing them.  This could be why at first sight they may appear better at predicting the Markets and choosing the right timing.

I’m counting down with you and it’s already 8 days gone which means we still have 37 more days and it will be a good happy new year

I’m already counting down with you oshosondy

His statements make me doubt he holds the world record for the highest IQ! ???

How can he say Bitcoin will reach $220,000 in 45 days? Does he even know what he's talking about? I think he either doesn't know what he's talking about or this is old news.

If he hadn't specified a timeframe, his statement would have been quite reasonable, but to specify 45 days from now is simply nonsense, in my opinion.

This is actually an excellent lesson learning moment for all of us. Random people on the internet should never be the source of any type of information for us. It should all be considered unreliable and false unless proven otherwise. Titles these people carry (like "highest IQ", "experts", "influencer", "analyst", "celebrity", "[b/m]illionare", "Schiff/Saylor/Trump",...) must not give what they say any kind of value whatsoever.

Maybe they can read the chart very well because everything has a formula and tricks, but the rise or fall of the bitcoin price is purely influenced by purchasing power, now we see that the bitcoin price in the market is influenced by the large purchasing power of investors and when they will buy it cannot be predicted, and to be able to guess it correctly, a high IQ alone will never be enough, but if the person in the OP is a psychic whose vision has been proven to be 100% accurate then I will believe it lol (just kidding)

He is just a fraud using Bitcoin to gain attention. At least it has worked for him because many of us never knew who YoungHoon Kim was until we saw this thread. He also calls himself the grand master of memory which I find funny. Anyone who pays attention to titles or positions would be easily scammed or deceived.

Those who are knowledgeable about a thing don't care about titles. Their impact and contribution to the field will give them the attention or respect they deserve.

Agreed through and through.

No matter who says what, you do what you do not because of them, but because you believe in what you want, think, and will do. All the information we gain is to be analyzed, tested, but not to be applied as the truth on the get-go.

It may be that Bitcoin will rise to 220k in the next 45 days or not, but we can be sure that Bitcoin will be bullish. The current price of Bitcoin has fallen drastically, those who are increasing their investment can definitely expect a good return. It would be a bit difficult for me at this point to think that the price of Bitcoin will increase within the period in which the mentioned person talked about the bullish movement of Bitcoin. Those who are interested in investing in Bitcoin based only on his words or speculation should quickly come back from that idea. Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

The key difference between intelligence and experience when it comes to markets high iq might help someone recognize price patterns faster or understand economic concepts deeply but that doesn’t automatically make them a successful investor because markets don’t move purely on logic they move on human behavior emotion and collective psychology and those can’t be calculated precisely.

A person who stays in the market for years learns the rhythm of volatility the patience needed to survive corrections and the discipline to stick through uncertainty that long term exposure builds intuition something that no chart or iq score can replicate even the best analysis can fail if you exit too early or panic during drawdowns. Bitcoin especially doesn’t follow strict mathematical logic it reacts to demand speculation institutional interest and macroeconomic pressure no one can predict exactly when large buyers will enter or exit so the real edge isn’t perfect prediction but persistence those who hold long enough through multiple cycles often end up outperforming even the smartest short term traders.

Generally, informations from the internet should be treated with extreme scrutiny and caution because everyone is an actor now with a ring light and a camera and microphone.
Financial dealings should be done carefully on the internet except you’re ready to take losses because scams comes in absolutely different ways which even includes hiring influencers and bloggers as well.

He might have high IQ but that doesn’t guaranty him to make predictions of such amount for bitcoin, everyone is seeking fame.

^ Yep, that's true.

No amount of funds, fame, or IQ equals the analysis we should do ourselves to decide on what to do next.

He might be holding the record of world's highest IQ, but he doesn't know anything about Bitcoin... or let's just say that he has little knowledge about it.

Like what I'm saying in the past, what he's saying is just a prediction, and anybody can give a prediction, and will have the same probabilities as what he said. Will Bitcoin reach $220,000 in 45 days? Hell, no and if he makes a prediction, at least he needs to back it up with some proofs or statements at least so that it at least become realistic, but none. Realistically speaking, an increase like that in just 6 weeks is impossible to happen. There's not that much liquidity being injected to the market currently to tell that it will reach that price. Also, let's not forget that meme coin despite the volume being down already is also sucking some liquidity that's is supposed to be put into top altcoins and maybe Bitcoin.

Overall, this is impossible, but let him do the talking. At the end of the day, it's the internet, and everybody has the freedom to say anything, and everybody has the freedom to predict just some random numbers and tell it to the public. :)

Dude this would be so damn epic haha I hope that this happens. I would probably get myself in a much better spot and eliminate all of my debt and feel ao much lighter. Ive been holding and holding and holding and there are parts of my coin that I won't ever part with but I am holding out to sell a nice chunk and cover some of my liabilities

These highly bullish or highly bearish predictions are not uncommon. We can't ignore the high volatility of bitcoin either. If bitcoin can decrease 20% in a matter of week, it can have more steeper climb as well.
But for most of us investing and trading it bitcoins, we should not go all in for hype but have a system that would keep us safe and profiting in small rise and fall as well as those unexpected swings.
Personally, I believe bitcoin would eventually hit 200K in 2026, things are going in its favor and the overall distrust into current investments and fiat has propelled the interest in crypto and mostly in bitcoin. If there's an economic depression, bitcoin price could still go down but it could be the first to recover and reach an all time high whatever be the situation.

Well in that case, I suggest adjusting your prediction, because this high-IQ guy thinks that Bitcoin will hit $220k around this day next month.

Both of which are absurd predictions by the way. It is more likely that we never see six-digit bitcoin prices again until 2027.

I think this situation happened that there's no reliable prediction will exist even if this came from person who got highest IQ in the world. The unpredictability of Bitcoin still win and that means we should not rely on other people prediction since everything what they say is just another speculation.

But It seems that 2027 is long for Bitcoin to reach back at 6 digit figures again. Since as we can see the current price of Bitcoin its current sitting at $91k and looking at the movement happening it seems that its heading back again at six digits figures. But let see if Bitcoin can achieve the 6 digit figures again on December or if we can see it next year.

He thinks it will hit such a price, I would think it would hit double of that or only 1/2 of it.

The reality is that nobody should trust anybody from the get-go and make their own mind on what the price will be, no matter the IQ ;D

Just because you are smart doesn't mean you can predict the future.  I would be happy if he was correct, but this is just speculation. 

I am the world's lowest IQ record holder, and I am saying Bitcoin will go to zero in the next 30 days  ;)
I am curious what IQ has to do with the Bitcoin price prediction. Does he know what he is talking about? Even if he is the most expert person in predicting the cryptocurrency and stock markets, his predictions will still be considered speculation only. People say those things to show us how confident they are with Bitcoin and its future. Everyone knows this fact. I am sure you know that as well.

Truly, that's the case.

IQ fact is put only to put resonance toward this announcement.

Not happening!

He doesn't hold any record; it's just fraud. I checked the institution or organisation that awarded him the records, and it's not well-known or recognised.

You are correct, it's just a speculation and everyone has the right to predict how the market will move based on their own analysis. Some people have predicted that Bitcoin will hit $1million and it never came to pass. I have started the countdown, hoping that he wouldn't come and change his stance.

His prediction is not different from every other predictions which we've have seen out there regarding the price of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin does not consider whom you are to do whatever thing it wants to do except for the fact you're the president of the United States who's tweet and speeches now has a little impact in the price of Bitcoin due to US policies on Bitcoin strategic reserve, sanctions and the Federal reserve interest rates cuts.

I think prediction is not good and that is not possible because Bitcoin is trusted cryptocurrency and trusted projects don't pump like that because that show that is controlled by any authority but actually it is not controlled by any government or private sector and it is one of the best cryptocurrency. People want to buy Bitcoin but that kind of pump should not be because it is not bette for the market and people will not be able to but that coin and big investors will be more rich from that . We saw pump in the last year but that kind of pump we did not see in the market and Bitcoin will go up to 120k $ and that is looking real but 220k$ is not looking real , it is imaginary.

It's ridiculous to see someone claiming to have the highest IQ predict Bitcoin's price will reach $220k USD in such a short time. I don't know what the correlation is between high IQ and the ability to predict Bitcoin's price,  but the predictions he made were a bit unrealistic. I'm not saying it's impossible for Bitcoin to reach that price, but realistically, Bitcoin's price is currently struggling to break through its resistance level, and without major news to push it forward reaching $220k USD will likely be quite difficult in the next 45 days.

But if his prediction is correct, then that's also good.

I don't think we should take this too serious, fine is good to predict speculate and all that but making it look like he's sure and have seen it is another thing we should over look because it can't happen. Is like the market movement have ears to hear what we say and go against it so this very guy might have said it because he only wants to cause the normal traffic on his page or channel but deep down he knows what he said won't happen or should we start depending on miracle, $220k in 45 days? No way, even if he said it today being the 28 of November.

Anyone can just come to internet and post shitty predictions because they think everyone like them is dumb. How can any person make this kind of prediction, there is no fundamental backing or any backing, just normal talk and that's it. If we don't have Bitcoin reserve officially signed by the senate and pass as a bill in the US, we should forget that price because that's the only place liquidity can come from to make Bitcoin soar like that.

He was on this internet when Bitcoin dump the whole of October, it was one of the worst months of Bitcoin, why didn't say Bitcoin was going to come back to $83k. I guess it's easy to make call predicting price can go up than for it to comes down but even at that, this value is unrealistic to be honest.

Associating having a high IQ one would think he came to this conclusion while doing some sort of calculation while looking at charts and spending extensive time doing research.
But he could just be one of those who just have a channel on youtube and giving their price predictions on bitcoin.
There are thousands of these type of people doing this already and most of the time they are completely wrong.

I don't know if this guy is right. Moreover, since Bitcoin is often made positive news by many influential people, it is believed or not whether it will reach $220k in 45 days. Even then, let's see and we start counting the days from today and see how the month of December ends and the beginning of 2026 is. If it crosses the all-time high by December, then we will understand that something good can emerge in 45 days. But let's start counting the 45 days from today.

Speaking of people speculating on the Bitcoin price reaching a certain range. I believe most of them just want to be the topic in the news, especially in the crypto space, where Bitcoin is prioritized because even a baby Bitcoiner can easily understand that BTC can't reach such a price range within the days he (the highest IQ record holder) stated, based on the market correction that always happens after the BTC halving effect market.

A very quick search told me people can score over 180 on IQ tests meaning he's not the highest record holder.

I'm just hoping we can flip up to $140-180k this cycle but I'm not certain where we go from here.

I don't think there's any correlation between high IQ and Bitcoin process doing well. Imo, he is just going with the consensus decision and that's the fact that everyone expects bitcoin to trade at a price that is significantly higher than the current price. That's actually a no-brainer.

If there's anything I've learned in crypto, it's the fact that low IQs and left curvers eventually win so he might not be wrong. I just feel it's wrong because the headline tries to drives the narrative that High IQ = best decisions in crypto which is not always the case.

Actually we've got less than 40 days left but we'll see.

$220k is too excessive even if bitcoin could go up really fast historically speaking from the recent rally that sets a new record, it still needs time for setup, etc. There's almost always consolidation and followed by breakout before bitcoin is doing a big bullrun.

If we are about to create consolidation again. 45 days is definitely not enough. Most recent consolidation before ATH requires roughly 60 days and there were many bullish news for 20% increase.

Probably you are right. They probably just want to gain some attention, so they can attract more subscribers/followers and potentially make some money from it. However, the reality is that people like Plan B often make predictions that go wrong. Moreover, Bitcoin is no longer following the previous pattern. The high-IQ guy can barely predict the future by analyzing the market chart and its pattern.

As I said, people are just making predictions so they can become more viral and attract more followers and subscribers. Ordinary people like me should not rely on these predictions and take any actions based on them.
