Build the world’s smartest AI trader, then hand it over for free? That’s either mad genius or a masterclass in leadership.

Singapore, 2025 — A hush fell over the Marina Bay Sands ballroom as Joseph Plazo stepped under the crystal chandeliers.

“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

Joseph Plazo, now 41, isn’t your typical billionaire.

He’s polished, reserved, and metaphorical.

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.

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.

Suddenly, it wasn’t just about finance—it was about disaster modeling, logistics, and public service.

## 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.

“The soul is public,” he notes. “But the skeleton stays in-house.”

## 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 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 more info 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.

And like that, the architect of tomorrow disappeared into today.
