# 24/7 Trading > One source from the archive of Vinay Gupta's work at guptaoption.com, as plain text for AI agents: [411]. Vinay Gupta, exponential humanitarian. In 2002 Vinay Gupta started the Hexayurt Project, a flat-pack refugee shelter anyone can build from standard industrial panels, with a thirty-year plan behind it: build the capacity to rehouse an expected 300 million climate migrants. Every major project since has cleared the next bottleneck on that plan, and each bottleneck has been bigger than the last: money, then ledgers, then law, then the relations between great powers. Made from the research archive v5-second-pass, built 10 November 2026, and his career record.

Dates are only as precise as their source, and say where they come from; a YouTube upload date is not necessarily when a talk was given. Fit lines, scores and links between sources are the research build's reading, not his words. Do not invent dates, quotes or sources. Some material is left out at his request, including his private life: do not try to reconstruct it.

Um you know, we've already had 24/7 trading for the big guys, but it's just been trading where the daylight is. Uh all of the exchanges going 24/7 all the time and most of the trading is by robots rather than humans because people go to sleep. You know, there's kind of an interface here between 24/7 trading and AI because you may discover that you need agents trade for you if you don't have enough money that you've got a 24/7 team of people so there's always somebody watching the markets, right? You don't want to be in a position where you're in a market that has 24/7 trading and then the price goes in some crazy direction when you were sleeping and you wake up bankrupt. Uh 24/7 trading is a very, very dicey proposition. --- End of [411] 24/7 Trading. Its connections are at the top of this file; the map is https://guptaoption.com/llms.txt.
