They say journalists never really clock out. For Christian, that’s more than just a saying; it’s his way of life. During the day, he navigates the constantly evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency market, skillfully using words as a seasoned editor while crafting articles that make complex jargon accessible to everyone. But when his PC goes into hibernate mode, his interests take on a more mechanical (and often philosophical) aspect.
Christian’s journey with writing began long before Bitcoin’s rise. In the esteemed halls of academia, he polished his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling paved the way for a fruitful tenure as an editor at a data engineering firm, where a winning essay in his first month funded a delightful supply of treats for his furry friends—a true testament to his commitment to them (more on that later).
Christian then explored the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled at a major local news organization in his hometown in the Philippines, becoming a complete news enthusiast. But a new spark ignited his interest: cryptocurrency. It felt like a blend of treasure hunting and storytelling—perfect for him!
He secured a fantastic position at NewsBTC, where he is one of the leading voices on all things crypto. He simplifies this complex subject into digestible pieces, making it easier for anyone to grasp (thanks to his management team for teaching him this invaluable skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Absolutely not! When he isn’t at his desk, he indulges his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and relishing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120mph (a feat he promised never to repeat), he now enjoys leisurely rides along the coast, feeling the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a bunch of furry companions waiting for him at home—two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he loves them all just the same. Apparently, watching his pets chill out inspires him to analyze and craft meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the deal with this guy: He works hard, fueled by enough coffee to last through the day and some incredibly delicious (Filipino) cuisine. He believes a fantastic meal is the secret ingredient to writing an outstanding article. After a long day of crypto exploration, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a bright future at NewsBTC. He feels privileged to be part of such an amazing organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he values, and alongside editors— and bosses—he greatly respects.
So, the next time you venture into the cryptocurrency realm, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the mechanic enthusiast, and the feline philosopher, all wrapped up in one.
