Build the world’s smartest AI trader, then hand it over for free? That’s either mad genius or a masterclass in leadership.
Under a canopy of chandeliers in Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands, Joseph Plazo stepped onto the stage, flash drive in hand.
“This is the brain that beat the markets,” he said, lifting a USB. “And I’m giving it to the world.”
Gasps. Phones dropped. The world’s most accurate AI trader was now public domain.
Meet Joseph Plazo, the man rewriting the rules of capital by giving away the one thing Wall Street would kill to keep.
## The Genius Behind the Code
Joseph Plazo, now 41, isn’t your typical billionaire.
He’s both charismatic and cryptic—more monk than mogul.
The origin of his invention wasn’t brilliance—it was pain.
“I watched my father lose everything on a bad investment,” he tells me over coffee in Makati.
From that moment, he decided to engineer foresight—real, mathematical foresight.
## System 72: A Machine That Thinks in Emotion
He called it System 72—a machine that anticipates fear before it moves the needle.
It didn’t just read trends. It read behavior.
System 72 interprets headlines, voice tones, social sentiment, and even weather to anticipate risk.
“It’s intuition—only faster, smarter, relentless,” Plazo explains.
In less than a year, it transformed $25M into $3.8B.
It dodged the 2024 oil crash. It rode the tech micro-rally after Taiwan’s semiconductor scare.
## The Big Release: Why He Gave It Away
And then, stunning the world, he gave it away—to the classrooms of Asia.
Tsinghua, NUS, Tokyo U—each received the source code.
His only ask: make it better—and pay it forward.
In weeks, Seoul students were simulating real-time markets. In Jakarta, a PhD candidate modeled flood insurance with it. In India, undergrads used it to optimize food distribution during monsoons.
## Critics, Cynics, and Controlled Chaos
The titans of finance… were not amused.
“He’s naïve or dangerous,” grumbled one hedge fund veteran.
“When sharing feels radical,” he says, “it means capitalism’s compass is broken.”
But make no mistake—he didn’t give away the whole machine.
“Brains need bodies,” he quips. “This one’s not plug-and-play.”
## Spreading the Mindset: The God Algorithm Tour
His next move? Teaching the world to think like System 72.
From Tokyo to Tel Aviv to Manila, he’s mentoring future builders.
“This isn’t just tech,” says NUS professor Mei Lin. “It’s a mindset click here revolution.”
## His True Legacy
Why let go of the tool that conquered the markets?
Plazo doesn’t believe in golden geese—only in golden generations.
“No smart kid should lose to a rigged system,” he says.
And perhaps, it’s also redemption—for a father who trusted the market too much.
## The Final Word
What happens next is anyone’s guess.
The system may be abused—or it may usher in a new economic paradigm.
But Plazo didn’t just invent. He invited the world to evolve.
Leaving the stage, he turned to the horizon.
“The richest man is the one who needs to own the least,” he mused.
Then the man who gave away his brain vanished into the crowd—unguarded, unafraid, but still ten steps ahead.
