Pizza and the Pentagon
War moves so fast you can only trade it now on things like Prediction Markets.
Someone was tracking the sudden spike in pizza deliveries to the Pentagon. Why? When big operations (like a strike or capture) are being planned, staff work late nights and order more food to keep going.
An anonymous programmer even built a bot to track these pizza orders, using it to predict a U.S.-led strike that captured Venezuelan President
To trade it they used Polymarket turning a $30,000 bet into $436,000 in profits.
This is basically arbitrage: spotting hidden info (like pizza trends) to beat the "fog of war" and make money on what others miss.
Crazy times.
