A hamster is randomly buying cryptocurrency — and is doing better than the most well-known index on the stock market.
Mr. Goxx — a livestreamed, social media savvy rodent — has been randomly buying and selling crypto since June, using a wheel to select the currency and one of two “decision tunnels” to determine whether or not he buys or sells.
