There’s a saying that journalists never truly clock out, and for Christian, it’s more than just a saying; it defines his way of life. By day, he skillfully navigates the dynamic cryptocurrency landscape, wielding words like an experienced editor and composing articles that demystify complex jargon for everyone. But when his PC enters hibernation, his interests take on a more mechanical—and occasionally philosophical—dimension.
Christian’s journey with storytelling began long before Bitcoin became a household name. In the esteemed realms of academia, he developed his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for narrative paved the way for his successful tenure as an editor at a data engineering firm, where a first-month essay win funded a lengthy supply of treats for his four-legged companions—a true testament to his commitment to them (details on that later).
From there, Christian ventured into journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. Ultimately, he settled at a prominent local news outlet in his native Philippines for a decade, transforming into a full-fledged news enthusiast. Then, a new fascination emerged: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure hunt intermingled with storytelling—perfectly aligned with his interests!
He secured a fantastic position at NewsBTC, where he acts as a key player in all things crypto. His skill lies in breaking down complex topics into easy-to-digest pieces, ensuring that anyone can grasp the essentials (he credits his management team for instilling this ability in him).
Think Christian is all work and no play? Not at all! When he’s not glued to his screen, he indulges in his love for motorbikes. A genuine gearhead, Christian delights in modifying his bike and relishing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who hit 120mph (a record he swore never to reach again), he now favors leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a bunch of furry companions at home: two cats and a dog. He asserts that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he loves them all equally. Apparently, observing his pets in their state of relaxation aids him in crafting meticulously formatted articles even more effectively.
Here’s a tidbit about Christian: he works diligently, but he powers through the day with enough coffee and some truly delicious Filipino cuisine. He believes that a delightful meal is the secret ingredient to producing exceptional articles. After a long day of battling in the crypto realm, he unwinds with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick comedies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a promising future with NewsBTC. He feels honored to be part of a remarkable organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a valued community, as well as with fellow editors and respected bosses.
So, the next time you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the gearhead, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
