They say journalists never really clock out, and for Christian, that’s more than just a saying; it’s a way of life. By day, he navigates the constantly changing waves of the cryptocurrency market, deftly using words like a skilled editor and creating articles that translate jargon into plain language for everyone. When his PC enters hibernate mode, though, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realm.
Christian’s journey with writing began long before Bitcoin took the stage. Within the esteemed confines of academia, he refined his abilities as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling opened doors for a fruitful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where a winning essay in his first month financed a delightful supply of treats for his dog and cat—a true reflection of his commitment to his furry friends (more on them later).
Christian then ventured into the field of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He ultimately settled at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines, immersing himself in the world of news for a decade. But then, something exciting captured his attention: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure hunt blended with storytelling—perfectly aligned with his interests!
This passion led him to a fantastic position at NewsBTC, where he serves as a go-to resource for all things crypto. He simplifies complex topics into digestible pieces, making them accessible for everyone (he gives a nod to his management team for imparting this essential skill).
Think Christian is all work and no fun? Absolutely not! When he’s not glued to his computer screen, he indulges his love for motorbikes. A true enthusiast, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike and relishing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speedster hitting 120 mph (a feat he promised never to repeat), he now enjoys relaxed rides along the coast, feeling the breeze through his thinning hair.
On a more relaxed note, Christian’s got a gang of furry companions waiting for him back home: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but has a soft spot for all of them. Apparently, watching his pets chill helps him craft meticulously structured articles even more effectively.
Here’s the scoop on this guy: he works extensively, but keeps himself fueled with enough coffee to power through the day—and some seriously tasty (Filipino) cuisine. He believes that a scrumptious meal is the secret ingredient to crafting an outstanding article. After a long day diving into cryptocurrency, he unwinds with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking ahead, Christian envisions a bright future with NewsBTC. He feels privileged to be part of such a remarkable organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he cherishes, and with fellow editors—and bosses—he holds in high regard.
So, the next time you step into the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the gearhead, and the feline philosopher, all in one.
