Jamie Ritchie, one of the world's leading wine and spirits auctioneers, explains why he left three decades of remarkable performance at Sotheby's to join a startup called BlockBar -- where he is COO. BlockBar is an online marketplace combining NFT, cryptocurrency (ethereum/eth), and blockchain technology with the sale, storage, and distribution of collectible wine and spirits to create authenticity and guaranteed provenance in the marketplace.
