The Crypto/NFT space moves so quickly and I felt that by having a fundamental understanding of the technology itself, I would be better suited to learn and grow in the space. The course was fantastic, it provided me with incredible case studies to understand how other institutions have been using the technology and has made me more confident in our practices at Sotheby’s and how we can continue to benefit and integrate blockchain into our business.
