The hamster would first select a digital asset to trade by running on its "decision wheel" and then go through a buy or sell tunnel.
In the final update on his performance, Mr. Goxx had earned โฌ 98 over the course of his career and was up to 19.72%.
On Twitter, those who run the Goxx account announced the news with "deep regret," adding:
"Mr. Goxx has brought joy to people around the world and reminded us not to take life too seriously. He shed light on dark times of pandemic, inflation and many kinds of problems."
The hamster had shown no signs of serious illness, but suddenly stopped eating and fell asleep peacefully on Monday morning. The Twitter thread added:
"For the humans behind Goxx Capital, the situation is difficult to understand and questions about a possible continuation of the project are not relevant to us at this time (for now, we will leave everything as is)."
The post concluded:
"Thank you and rest in peace, Max (aka Mr. Goxx). We will miss you and your memory will live forever on the blockchain."
Several Goxx Twitter followers have paid tribute, with some describing the hamster as one of the best cryptocurrency traders of all time.
"I copied, I changed you and I couldn't be happier with your brilliant calls," wrote one.
Another added: "Rest on profit."
