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 rides the waves of the cryptocurrency market, skillfully crafting articles that demystify the jargon for everyone. But when his PC goes into hibernation mode, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realm.
Christian’s journey with writing started long before Bitcoin came onto the scene. In the distinguished halls of academia, he polished his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling set the stage for a successful tenure as an editor at a data engineering firm, where a winning essay in his first month funded an extended supply of treats for his beloved pets – proof of his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
He then explored the field of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. Eventually, he anchored himself at a local news titan in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a full-fledged news enthusiast. But then, something new sparked his interest: cryptocurrency. It felt like a blend of a treasure hunt and storytelling – perfectly aligned with his passions!
He landed an incredible role at NewsBTC, becoming one of the go-to experts for all things crypto. He simplifies complex concepts into digestible insights, making it accessible for everyone (he thanks his management team for imparting this valuable skill).
Do you think Christian is all business and no fun? Not at all! When he isn’t glued to his computer, you’ll catch him pursuing 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 speedster who hit 120mph (which he vowed never to attempt again), he now favors leisurely rides along the coast, feeling the breeze in his thinning hair.
And speaking of relaxation, Christian has a lineup of furry companions waiting for him at home: two cats and a dog. He insists cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he cherishes them all the same. In fact, watching his pets just relaxing helps him craft meticulously formatted articles even more efficiently.
Here’s the thing about him: He works tirelessly but keeps his energy up with enough coffee to power through the day – along with some mouthwatering (Filipino) cuisine. He insists that a delicious meal is the secret ingredient for a stellar article. After a long day of crypto reporting, he kicks back with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a bright future with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of such a fantastic organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he values, along with editors and bosses he holds in high regard.
The next time you venture into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the gearhead, and the feline philosopher, all wrapped into one.
