In a world where crypto predictions come dime a dozen, one controversial figure stands out – a Korean polymath who claims to have the highest IQ on Earth is making waves with his ultra-bullish bitcoin forecast. As we navigate September 2025's volatile crypto markets, his unorthodox views are sparking heated debates from Seoul to Wall Street.

Who Is This Self-Proclaimed Genius?
Meet Kim Joon-ho (pseudonym), the 34-year-old who's been trending across Asian crypto forums since his appearance on a popular Korean tech podcast last week. What got everyone's attention wasn't just his claim of a 210 IQ (which, frankly, we've heard before), but his detailed technical analysis showing Bitcoin potentially reaching $250,000 by year's end.
The Hypervaluation Thesis Explained
During our interview, Kim presented what he calls the "Three Phase Hypervaluation Model":
1.(Completed Q1 2025): When BlackRock and other giants finally got their spot BTC ETFs approved
2.(Current): Where we're seeing exchanges like BTCC report 300% YoY growth in new accounts
3.(Projected Q4 2025): When he believes Bitcoin will decouple from traditional markets
What the Data Shows
Looking at CoinMarketCap charts, Bitcoin has indeed shown unusual strength despite September's typical bearish tendencies. The cryptocurrency has maintained above $85,000 for 17 consecutive days as of September 27 - something that hasn't happened since the 2021 bull run.
Controversy and Criticism
Not everyone's buying Kim's hype. MIT-educated economist Dr. Lisa Cheng told us, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. While Bitcoin's fundamentals are strong, predicting specific price targets is more astrology than analysis." Still, you can't deny the man's got timing - his last public prediction in March correctly forecasted the post-halving consolidation period.
The Human Element Behind the Numbers
What fascinated me most wasn't the charts, but Kim's personal story. The son of North Korean defectors, he taught himself Python to analyze blockchain data while working night shifts at a Seoul convenience store. "People call me arrogant," he laughed, "but when you've backtested 84 different valuation models, you develop some confidence."
FAQ: Your Burning Questions Answered
Is this Bitcoin prediction realistic?
While $250k seems astronomical, remember Bitcoin shocked everyone hitting $69k in 2021. The current macroeconomic climate with weakening fiat currencies makes such scenarios plausible, if not guaranteed.
What exchanges does Kim recommend?
He mentioned using a combination of BTCC for derivatives and Coinbase for spot trading during our interview, though this isn't financial advice.
How does his IQ claim hold up?
Without verified test results, it's impossible to confirm. That said, his technical analysis demonstrates advanced quantitative skills regardless of IQ scores.
