He then decides between two tunnels whether to buy or sell. Finally, the hamster&#8217;s decision is sent to a real trading platform where real money is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Astonishingly, Mr. Goxx&#8217;s portfolio has risen nearly 20% since he began trading last June, according to the hamster&#8217;s Twitter account. As of September 12, Mr. Goxx had outperformed Bitcoin, the Nasdaq 100, Warren Buffett&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway and the S&amp;P 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this methodology is clearly random, it reminds everyone that the issue of where people get their financial advice from is definitely evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>For more information, view the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/09\/25\/1040683057\/crypto-trading-hamster-goxx-warren-buffet-s-p-500\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">original story<\/a> from NPR.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hamster that has been trading in cryptocurrencies since June and has yielded higher returns than Warren Buffett and the S&#038;P 500.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[124],"class_list":["post-12751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-todays-news","tag-bitcoin"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12751"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12804,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12751\/revisions\/12804"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewsday.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
