They say journalists never really clock out, but for Christian, that’s more than just a saying; it’s a way of life. By day, he rides the unpredictable waves of the cryptocurrency market, skillfully using his words like a seasoned editor, crafting articles that make the complex jargon accessible to everyone. When his PC goes into hibernation, however, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realm.
Christian’s journey with writing began long before Bitcoin entered the scene. In the esteemed environment of academia, he polished his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling led to a fruitful career as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his essay victory in the first month provided a months-long supply of treats for his furry friends—a true testament to his commitment to his pets (more on that later).
He then ventured into the realm of journalism, working at newspapers in both Canada and South Korea. Eventually, he settled at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a complete news addict. However, a new fascination grabbed his attention: cryptocurrency. It felt like a combination of treasure hunting and storytelling—perfectly aligned with his interests!
This led him to a fantastic position at NewsBTC, where he serves as a primary resource for all things crypto. He simplifies complex topics into easily digestible pieces, making it accessible for everyone (he gives kudos to his management team for helping him develop this skill).
Think Christian is all work and no play? Think again! When he’s not glued to his computer, you’ll spot him in the thrilling world of motorbikes. A true gearhead, he enjoys tweaking his bike and relishing the freedom of the road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who soared to 120 mph (a record he promised never to break), he now opts for leisurely rides along the coast, embracing the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a family of furry companions awaiting him at home: two cats and a dog. He claims cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he cherishes them all the same. Apparently, watching his pets lounge around helps him analyze and craft meticulously formatted articles even more effectively.
Here’s a little about this guy: He works tirelessly but keeps his energy up with enough coffee to power through the day—and some seriously tasty Filipino cuisine. He asserts that a delicious meal is the secret ingredient to writing a phenomenal article. After a long day of crypto exploration, he relaxes with a rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick films.
Looking to the future, Christian envisions a bright path with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of an amazing organization, eager to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he holds dear, as well as fellow editors and bosses he genuinely respects.
So, the next time you step into the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all wrapped into one.
