The Pentagon "Pizza Index" is active again.

Monitoring data shows abnormal fluctuations in the pizza market near the Pentagon—one pizza chain 2.3 miles from the Pentagon experienced a 1250% increase in foot traffic, while another pizza shop 1.0 mile away saw a 313% surge. The entire area has entered a level three alert status.

This meme has become a classic "market sentiment indicator" in the crypto community. Whenever major political or military events occur in the United States, community observers start paying attention to the foot traffic at pizza shops around the Pentagon—the theory is that when the situation escalates, Pentagon staff work overtime, and pizza delivery volumes spike.

Although it sounds a bit absurd, this folk observation indicator has become a cultural phenomenon within the Web3 community. Every time the "Pizza Index" is activated, it sparks discussions and jokes within the community, reflecting, to some extent, crypto enthusiasts' attention to global events and their dark humor-style interpretation.

Here we go again, this time at 1250%. How many people are slacking off and ordering pizza?

1250%? Man, this number is outrageous, more exaggerated than any altcoin rally I've seen. The launch of the Pizza Index is truly amazing; major global events are being defined by eating pizza, haha. So in the end, it's still a gamble on the US's moves. The joy in the crypto world is just that cheap. If you could really predict black swan events, that would be incredible. I'll place five big pizza bets first. Humans are really clever; they can even infer geopolitical risks from pizza delivery volumes.

Haha, really. This indicator is more accurate than some on-chain data.

Haha, this indicator is just too awesome. Pentagon employees have directly become our market signal source. If you ask me, it's more effective than watching the FOMC. This thing is really accurate. When will Bitcoin also have an index like this... But honestly, this kind of folk wisdom is truly exceptional, much more reliable than those big V analyses. Wait, does the surge in pizza shop foot traffic mean we can go all in?

Haha, here we go again. I'm convinced by the pizza index meme. --- 1250%? Really? What are the people at the Pentagon going to look like now? --- It's always like this. Judging the state of the world by how many pizzas are sold—Web3 folks' happiness is that simple. --- By the way, this indicator is more accurate than some official data. It cracked me up. --- But thinking about it, it makes sense. Overtime means ordering takeout. Pizza shop owners are probably laughing secretly. --- Whenever a big event happens, everyone’s watching the pizza shops. Our community really is a talent hub.
