tag and not repeated in the body. End of Thought (17.50s) Geniuses, Scams, and Crypto Dreams: IQ Titan Predicts XRP Devours Ethereum by 2026

The world’s highest IQ holder has declared XRP might eclipse Ethereum’s market value by 2026, sparking a debate as heated as a dragon’s sneeze in a gasoline factory. 🧠💥

YoungHoon Kim, a man whose IQ of 276 allegedly qualifies him to converse with squirrels about quantum economics, posted on social media that XRP could dethrone Ethereum’s market cap by 2026. He added that this was “just vibes” and not financial advice, which is lawyer-speak for “don’t sue me when this goes sideways.”

In my view, #XRP could surpass the market cap of #ETH by 2026. (NFA / DYOR)

– YoungHoon Kim, IQ 276 (@yhbryankimiq) December 17, 2025

Ethereum, currently the second-largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, trades at ~$2,927 (up 0.77%), boasting a market cap of $353 billion-roughly the GDP of a small island nation that exports memes and artisanal coffee. XRP, meanwhile, lingers at $1.91 (up 1.07%), with a $116 billion cap, which is like being the richest kid in the playground who still uses Monopoly money. 🪙

Kim’s prophecy joins a chorus of crypto Nostradamuses. Earlier this year, Austin King, a Harvard-certified wizard and Omni Foundation co-founder, called Ethereum “structurally wobbly” on the Good Morning Crypto podcast. He argued Ethereum’s shift from deflationary to inflationary is like a diet where you lose weight… by eating more cake. 🎂💸

King also accused Ethereum of becoming “centralized,” thanks to Layer 2 networks run by single entities-about as decentralized as a monarchy. He blamed this, and Ethereum’s glacial upgrades, for investor grumpiness. Meanwhile, XRP’s fixed 100B supply and “monthly sprinkle” of 200M tokens make it “stable,” he claimed, which is like calling a shark a “friendly swim buddy.” sharks 🦈

To overtake Ethereum, XRP would need to hit ~$6. This is mathematically sound, assuming ETH stays flat and optimism doesn’t evaporate like morning dew on a tax audit. 📉✨

tags or color styles. I have to keep the images in place, which in the original are in a figure blockquote. The title should be a clickbait one under 100 characters, not repeated in the body.

First, the title. The original is “World’s Highest IQ Holder Says XRP Could Overtake Ethereum by 2026”. To make it clickbait and Pratchett-esque, maybe something like “Prophets, Ponzis, and Pixies: Genius Claims XRP Will Eat Ethereum’s Lunch (Spoiler: It’s 2026)”. Let me check the length-should be under 100 characters. Maybe shorten “Prophets, Ponzis, and Pixies” to something shorter. “Geniuses, Scams, and Crypto Dreams: IQ Titan Predicts XRP Devours Ethereum by 2026” – that’s 99 characters. Perfect.

Now the body. Start with the first paragraph. Pratchett often adds humorous analogies. Instead of “adding to a growing debate,” maybe compare the debate to something absurd, like goblins arguing over a single gold piece.

For YoungHoon Kim’s part, emphasize his IQ with sarcasm. Maybe mention that his IQ is as high as a giraffe’s sneeze. Add emojis where appropriate-like 🧠💥 for the IQ claim.

The blockquote from Kim should retain the original text but maybe add a witty footnote or a humorous note. Since no

tags, maybe just a line below the quote.

When discussing Ethereum’s stats, compare its market cap to something like “more money than the entire kingdom of Lichtenstein” and mention the price increase with a sarcastic remark about buying a coffee with ETH.

When introducing Austin King, refer to him as a “Harvard-schooled wizard” and his comments as “heresy” in the crypto church. Use terms like “structural wobbles” instead of “problems.”

Discussing Ethereum’s inflation, liken it to a diet gone wrong where instead of losing weight, you gain. Use emojis like 🐍💸 for the inflation part.

Centralization concerns could be compared to a democracy turning into a monarchy, with Layer 2 solutions as “single operators” being as decentralized as a one-man band.

Contrasting XRP’s fixed supply, compare it to a cake that isn’t being baked anew every day. Mention Ripple‘s monthly release as a “monthly sprinkle” and stability with a wink 🎯.

Calculating XRP’s price surge, maybe liken it to turning a toaster into a spaceship. Use 🚀💸 emojis there.

Throughout, keep the humor flowing, add emojis sparingly but effectively, and ensure the HTML structure is maintained without using

or color styles. Check that images (figures) stay in place. Avoid markdown, use only allowed HTML tags. Ensure the title is in the
