On the occasion of Bitcoin Pizza Day in 2026, Bitget launched a global branding campaign titled "Flip the Slice," centered around a music short film called "The Infinite Flip." The short film humorously transforms the voices of skeptics into a part of community culture expression, continuing the spirit and narrative tension of Bitcoin Pizza Day.The film portrays the development of the crypto industry through various cartoon characters. Each time the outside world shouts "crypto is dead," the characters reappear with a "resurrection dance," symbolizing the crypto industry's rebirth from doubt and lows. Through this dark humor and the repeatedly "flipping" narrative style, the short film aims to convey the spirit of "crypto is not dead, it flips and is reborn" to the crypto community.Bitget's Chief Marketing Officer Ignacio Aguirre Franco stated that Bitcoin has been declared "dead" hundreds of times, but in this short film, the critics' arguments become plot points rather than conclusions. By flipping these narratives with humor and fun, each "death" serves as a prologue to the resurgence of the crypto world.As part of the overall Pizza Festival activities, Bitget's "Pizza Box Resume Project" will print selected Web3 youth resumes on pizza boxes and deliver them to industry partners in various regions, transforming classic crypto culture memes into career pathways for young people. This initiative also continues the core direction of Blockchain4Youth, which is to help young people establish a connection path from knowledge acquisition and skill demonstration to integration into the industry ecosystem.

The "Pizza Index," humorously referred to as the "barometer" for U.S. military actions, has once again shown abnormal fluctuations. The latest data from the monitoring account Pentagon Pizza Watch indicates that the order volume at the Domino's Pizza located about 1.4 miles from the Pentagon surged to 227% of normal levels on Monday evening, raising the alert level to "DOUGHCON 4."Comparing with surrounding stores, some pizza shops reported being "exceptionally busy," while others remained "quiet" or closed, displaying a structural increase in volume. The relevant monitoring model suggests that the sudden spike in orders in this area is typically associated with increased overtime work within the Pentagon.Historically, the "Pentagon Pizza Index" has shown unusual movements before several significant international military actions. Abnormal changes in this index were observed prior to the U.S. military action against Venezuela in January this year, as well as during the escalation of tensions involving Iran.Market analysis points out that the logic behind this index is based on the assumption that when the Pentagon's high-level operations center is dealing with sudden international crises or military deployments, staff work longer hours, leading to a significant increase in nighttime delivery orders. Therefore, this data is viewed by some observers as an alternative forward-looking signal of geopolitical risk. Currently, there has been no official statement from the U.S. regarding related military movements. The market is closely monitoring the evolution of the situation in the Middle East and potential risks of military escalation.

Trader Sweetcheeks posted on platform X that he made $80,000 in one night through Polymarket. According to him, he developed a bot that tracks Domino's Pizza orders around the Pentagon, predicting overtime activities at the Pentagon by monitoring spikes in orders during unusual hours.After the bot detected abnormal activity and issued a warning, Sweetcheeks immediately bought a large number of shares on Polymarket regarding "whether the U.S. will strike Venezuela," ultimately realizing a profit.
