"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.
"We were joking about whether my hamster would be able to make smarter investment decisions than we humans do."
It's a complex little set up they created for the hamster as well. Whenever Mr Goxx enters his fully-automated office, a stream starts on his Twitch channel and his Twitter account alerts followers that he has started a trading session. Using technology - including software scripting, microcontrollers and single-board computers - the decisions made by Mr Goxx then happen the moment he makes them. In every tweet though, the duo helping Mr Goxx point out that his decisions should not be taken as trading advice, despite his success. But his owner, who is a lecturer and prototyping specialist, says he likes to spark people's interest in new technologies, particularly complex ones such as crypto. He said that since the project began he has got "people that will normally run away if they'd hear the word 'blockchain'" asking him for information on "this whole crypto thing." To the moon Mr Goxx, to the moon. Related links:Explore more on these topics:
