Mr. Goxx dead – Crypto-trading hamster who beat Warren Buffett's performance passes away
THE crypto-trading hamster, who beat Warren Buffett's performance, Mr Goxx has passed away.
According to Mr Goxx's official Twitter account, the crypto-trading hamster died on Tuesday.
“We feared this day like no other and are truly shocked for it to happen just now,” Mr Goxx’s Twitter account tweeted on Wednesday.
“In deep sorrow, we have to announce the loss of our beloved furry friend.”
The account continued: "Being with us as a pet for quite a while, he became famous out of nowhere. Mr. Goxx has brought joy to people all across the globe and reminded us not to take life too seriously.
"He shed light into dark moments of pandemic, inflation and many kinds of trouble."
According to the account, Mr Goxx did not show any signs of serious illness; however, the hamster did have some kidney issues.
"While having normal amounts of food until Sunday, he then suddenly refused eating and fell asleep peacefully on Monday morning.
"Thank you and rest in peace, Max (a.k.a Mr. Goxx). You will be missed, and your memory will live forever on the blockchain."
The hamster's financial career and social media fame were born of a joke between two men in their 30s from Germany who wanted to prove the randomness of success in the digital currency industry.
"It seems like most people from our generation see no other chance than throwing a lot of their savings on the crypto market, without having a clue what's going on there," the men told BBC.
"We were joking about whether my hamster would be able to make smarter investment decisions than we humans do."
Mr Goxx would famously make his decisions by running on his “intention wheel” and triggering trading sessions.
The tiny trader started his financial career on June 12, and as of September 27, his career performance was up 19.41%.
