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.”
You could hear the collective gasp. A billion-dollar algorithm was now everyone’s.
And just like that, Joseph Plazo changed the future of finance—not by selling brilliance, but by sharing it.
## The Genius Behind the Code
Now 41, Plazo carries the demeanor of a poet, not a profiteer.
He’s both charismatic and cryptic—more monk than mogul.
He doesn’t begin with lines of code when you ask how his firm built a trading machine. He starts with heartbreak.
“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
What emerged 12 years later was System 72—an AI that reads markets the way humans read faces.
Forget moving averages. This AI reads collective anxiety.
From breaking news to atmospheric anomalies, System 72 digests it all 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 read more micro-rally after Taiwan’s semiconductor scare.
## The Big Release: Why He Gave It Away
But instead of monetizing it like any hedge fund would, Plazo released the core AI to twelve elite Asian universities.
He handed it to minds, not money.
The only rule: upgrade it, don’t bury it.
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
Not everyone cheered.
“He’s naïve or dangerous,” grumbled one hedge fund veteran.
“When sharing feels radical,” he says, “it means capitalism’s compass is broken.”
But Plazo isn’t careless. He shared the brain, not the fortress.
“The soul is public,” he notes. “But the skeleton stays in-house.”
## 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.
“He’s not just sharing code,” says Prof. Mei Lin of NUS. “He’s sharing a philosophy.”
## His True Legacy
What kind of man hands over a fortune’s worth of foresight?
Because he sees information as the great equalizer—not a luxury.
“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.
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.
