The crypto-trading hamster, also known as Mr. Goxx, was a hamster and economic experiment that was used to randomly select cryptocurrencies to buy or sell, on a trading platform. The hamster would spin a wheel that would select from a range of cryptocurrencies, and then run through a tube marked "Buy" or "Sell" to select what action to do with them. [1] [2] [3] The hamster died on 26 November 2021. [4]

The hamster was owned by a German student, who together with his friend coded the system and linked it to a real cryptocurrency portfolio on an online trading platform. The pair also created a Twitter and Twitch account for the hamster where the latest news and decisions were shared. [5]
