People often say that journalists never truly clock out. For Christian, this is more than just a saying; it’s a way of life. By day, he expertly navigates the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape, wielding his pen like a seasoned editor to create articles that make complex jargon accessible to everyone. However, when his PC enters hibernation mode, his interests shift to more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) pursuits.
Christian’s relationship with writing began long before the Bitcoin era. In the esteemed corridors of academia, he developed his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling eventually opened doors for him as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay victory generously funded a continuous supply of treats for his beloved pets—a true testament to his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
He then traversed the realm of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. Eventually, he settled at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a full-fledged news junkie. But then, a new fascination emerged: cryptocurrency. It combined the thrill of a treasure hunt with the artistry of storytelling—perfect for him!
This led him to secure an amazing position at NewsBTC, where he has become one of the key voices in crypto reporting. He simplifies intricate concepts into easily digestible pieces, thanks to the skills he learned from his management team, which he genuinely admires.
Think Christian is all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s away from his desk, he immerses himself in his love for motorbikes. A genuine gearhead, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike and relishing the freedom of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who reached 120mph (a record he vows never to duplicate), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, feeling the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a pack of furry companions awaiting him at home—two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but adores them all the same. Apparently, watching his pets lounging around enhances his ability to analyze and meticulously craft articles.
Here’s the thing about him: he works tirelessly, but fuels his energy with enough coffee to carry him through the day, paired with some delightful (Filipino) dishes. He insists that a scrumptious meal is the secret ingredient to producing a top-notch article. After a long day of crypto adventures, he likes to unwind with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick movies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a bright future at NewsBTC. He feels privileged to be part of an exceptional organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a valued community and with fellow editors—and bosses—he respects deeply.
So, the next time you delve into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all wrapped into one.
