When a technopreneur crafts a trading algorithm that beats Wall Street—and gives it away for free—you brace for either brilliance or bedlam.
Singapore, 2025 — The room hushed as Joseph Plazo took the stage at the Marina Bay Sands.
“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.
At the center of this seismic shift: Joseph Plazo, a man dismantling the monopoly on market intelligence.
## The Genius Behind the Code
Now 41, Plazo carries the demeanor of a poet, not a profiteer.
He’s polished, reserved, and metaphorical.
When asked how his AI firm cracked the markets, he doesn’t cite algorithms. He recounts loss.
“I watched my father lose everything on a bad investment,” he tells me over coffee in Makati.
That was when young Joseph vowed to build a system smarter than fear.
## System 72: A Machine That Thinks in Emotion
The result: System 72, a machine designed to feel volatility before it happens.
This wasn’t just price analysis. This was emotional forensics.
From breaking news to atmospheric anomalies, System 72 digests it all website in seconds.
“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.
From Tsinghua to NUS to the University of Tokyo, students got access to the magic.
His only ask: make it better—and pay it forward.
What started as a hedge fund weapon became a global tool for innovation.
## Critics, Cynics, and Controlled Chaos
Wall Street predictably bristled.
“Is this brilliance—or a publicity stunt?” skeptics asked.
Plazo doesn’t flinch. “If giving feels threatening, we need to rethink our values.”
Still, key infrastructure—execution engines, capital controls—remains in his vault.
“I gave away the brain,” he says. “You still have to build the body.”
## Spreading the Mindset: The God Algorithm Tour
Since then, he’s traveled the globe on what’s been dubbed the God Algorithm World Tour.
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 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.
Chaos may come. So might evolution.
What he gave the world wasn’t just genius—but permission.
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.
