Mr. Goxx, the live-streamed hamster, has been trading a portfolio of several cryptocurrencies on his own since June 12, and his results have been remarkable so far. His portfolio has risen over 20% in the previous four months, which is greater than the increase of the S&P 500, which has risen 12.20% in the last six months.

According to the Mr. Goxx Twitter feed, which documents daily performance as well as every trade made by the hamster, the innocuous hamster has also managed to briefly outperform Warren Buffett, whose two major holdings, namely Apple and Bank of America, have risen around 21% and 10% respectively over the last half-year. Despite the unpredictability of its investments, Goxx has recorded some extremely profitable results. Some of these include a $23.79 Dogecoin (DOGE) purchase at the end of July that sold for $34.80 on September 16.

The “Goxx Box,” a crypto-rigged office adjacent to Mr. Goxx’s bigger house, allows the hamster to complete certain workouts that subsequently execute particular cryptocurrency trades. It was constructed by Mr. Goxx’s caretaker. The hamster is free to come inside its office anytime it wishes to execute trades.

To begin, Goxx uses the “intention wheel” to select one of roughly 30 cryptocurrencies to trade. After selecting a cryptocurrency, the hamster travels through one of two “decision tunnels” that initiate a purchase or sell a deal in that coin. Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Ethereum (ETH), and Tron (TRX) are among the key cryptos held by him.

Mr. Goxx’s investment portfolio was funded with $390 in euros. The hamster’s transactions are set at 20 euro increments by default. If the interest in Mr. Goxx’s channel continues to increase, there are also plans to offer him more control and allow him to choose his own purchasing amount, according to Mr. Goxx’s anonymous caretaker and business partner.
