Barnaby Swinburn, a 12-year-old who got 162 on the Mensa IQ test, was inducted into the high-IQ society.
A 12-year-old student with an intelligence quotient (IQ) higher than Albert Einstein fulfilled his wish of holding cryptocurrencies this Christmas.
Barnaby Swinburn, a citizen of Bristol, England, wanted two Christmas gifts: a Mensa test to analyse his IQ and a cryptocurrency portfolio. Swinburn scored the highest possible score of 162 on the test, surpassing Einstien's IQ of 160, according to BristolLive. Subsequently, the schoolkid was welcomed into the high-IQ society, which only admits the top 2% of Mensa scorers.
Swinburn's mother, Ghislaine, said about cryptocurrencies:
“He’s been watching the markets. He’ll be getting an envelope with money in it for Christmas which he’ll turn into cryptocurrency.”
The Swinburn family, on the other side, has yet to disclose the monetary amount and also the cryptocurrencies that were bought this Christmas.
Swinburn intends to be a programmer as a result of his interest in crypto. Ghislaine added, "He is already looking at university courses and wants to go to Oxford."
In 2017, a Brazilian father presented his newborn daughter 1 Bitcoin (BTC) when it was worth around $915.80. Four years later, on Oct. 17, the young girl saw a return of over 6,500 % as BTC topped $60,000.
Joo Canhada, the father and founder of the Brazilian crypto exchange Foxbit, ultimately understood that 2017 was the only chance to buy Bitcoin for less than $1000:
“As soon as my daughter was born, in 2017, I bought 1 Bitcoin for her, not just as a gift, but as a way of investing in this new economy. At the time, BTC cost 5,000 Brazilian Real.”
