Death of Mr. Goxx 

According to the tweet, Mr. Goxx showed no sign of that he was seriously ill, though he was saved from renal issues as a result of a professional mite treatment in his early days. After eating normally till Sunday, he abruptly refused to eat and slept peacefully on Monday morning.

Mr. Goxx, whose original name is Max, rose to fame in September 2018 when its bitcoin portfolio gained 24% in a single day, beating the S&P 500 and Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway. 

Mr. Goxx purchased and traded digital currencies from his own office in Germany, which he kept secret.

Mr. Goxx started trading in June after his owner constructed a 'trading office' consisting of an intention wheel and decision tunnels to purchase and sell bitcoins, according to Daily Mail.

The hamster would first spin the 'intention wheel,' selecting one of the 30 digital currencies to trade, and then go through a 'buy' or sell' tunnel, which would initiate a transaction movement.

Tron, Ripple's XRP, Cardano's ADA, and ether are among the top cryptocurrencies held by Mr. Goxx
