Using the sensors, the hamster could “trade” digital assets. He chose a particular cryptocurrency and then went through one of the so-called “decision-making” tunnels. Depending on the choice of the tunnel, the rodent either bought a token of 20 euros or closed the position.

According to the latest data, the hamster earned just over 98 euros during his "career.”
