“I copied your trades and was very pleased with your brilliant calls,” wrote one of them.
Initially, Mr. Goxx's portfolio was valued at $ 390. According to the latest data, the hamster has earned just over € 98 over its career, and its portfolio has grown by 19.72%.
The authors of the Goxx Capital project said they did not plan to continue it.
Recall that in June 2021, the owner of the hamster built a special cage for him, furnished with optical sensors that are connected to the Arduino Nano controller. That allowed the rodent to "trade" digital assets.
