This trader's name was Mr Goxx, and he was a hamster. Mr Goxx played the central role in the experiment launched by two Germans seeking to have some fun during the pandemic. The goal was to make people aware of the unpredictability of digital assets.
Mr Goxx’s cage was equipped with Buy and Sell decision tunnels, Intention Wheel, and two cameras. The devices wired to his ‘office’ opened and closed trades automatically. Every trading session was live-streamed on Twitter.
Mr Goxx worked with digital assets known for their volatility and unpredictability. His name referred to once the biggest BTC exchange Mt Gox that collapsed in 2014. Despite this association, Mr Goxx’s intuitive trading was rather successful. He even managed to outperform many human investors, including Warren Buffet’s company.
Sadly, Mr Goxx died in November 2021. The news was mentioned on the BBC News website.
