Some time ago we wrote about how to control the freshness of products and help factory workers with anonymous feedbacks to improve the quality of work.

We continue to write about important events and phenomena in the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. That is why today we will talk about pizza. This amazing and simple dish, which came either from Italy, or even from ancient Greece, has two holidays of its own: International Pizza Day and just Pizza Day. There is not much to say about the first one: February 9, festivals, treats, trips to restaurants. And the second day, May 22, is especially significant for all those interested in cryptocurrency. In 2010, the bitcoin rate was low, and it was mined mostly for the sake of interest. No one knew how and what it could be spent on. And o
