What happens when someone creates a trading AI that humiliates Wall Street—and then open-sources it?
Singapore, 2025 — A hush fell over the Marina Bay Sands ballroom as Joseph Plazo stepped under the crystal chandeliers.
“This,” he said, raising a tiny flash drive, “contains the code that made us billions. And I’m giving it away.”
Gasps. Phones dropped. The world’s most accurate AI trader was now public domain.
And just like that, Joseph Plazo changed the future of finance—not by selling brilliance, but by sharing it.
## The Genius Behind the Code
Joseph Plazo, now 41, isn’t your typical billionaire.
He’s polished, reserved, and metaphorical.
He doesn’t begin with lines of code when you ask how his firm built a trading machine. He starts with heartbreak.
“My father made one mistake,” he says, sipping black coffee in Makati. “And the market erased him.”
That moment lit the fire for a lifelong obsession: defeating emotion with code.
## System 72: A Machine That Thinks in Emotion
The result: System 72, a machine designed to feel volatility before it happens.
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 instinct. But upgraded,” he says.
Within months, $25 million turned into $3.8 billion.
It sidestepped crashes, predicted rallies, and confounded human traders.
## The Big Release: Why He Gave It Away
Instead of guarding it like Fort Knox, Plazo open-sourced the brain of his empire to academia.
Tsinghua, NUS, Tokyo U—each received the source code.
The only rule: upgrade it, don’t bury it.
Suddenly, it wasn’t just about finance—it was about disaster modeling, logistics, and public service.

The titans of finance… were not amused.
“This is destabilizing,” warned a Wall Street insider.
Plazo shrugs. “If generosity looks like insanity to you, maybe you’ve forgotten how progress works.”
But Plazo isn’t careless. He shared the brain, not the fortress.
“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.
He teaches. He challenges. He demystifies.
“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?
Because he sees information as the great equalizer—not a luxury.
“No smart kid should lose to a rigged system,” he says.
And maybe, just maybe, this is his promise to a man who lost everything on a bad bet—his father.
## The Final Word
What happens next is anyone’s guess.
The system may be abused—or it may usher in a new economic paradigm.
What he gave the world wasn’t just genius—but permission.
Leaving the stage, he turned to the horizon.
“They say wealth is control,” he said. “But true wealth… is what you can give away.”
Then the man who gave away his brain vanished into the crowd—unguarded, unafraid, but still ten steps ahead.
