They say journalists never truly clock out, and for Christian, that’s more than just a metaphor; it’s a way of life. By day, he deftly navigates the ever-evolving cryptocurrency market, using his words as a seasoned editor to create articles that make the complex jargon accessible to everyone. But when his PC enters hibernation mode, his interests shift towards more mechanical, and occasionally philosophical, pursuits.
Christian’s writing journey began long before Bitcoin entered the scene. Within the esteemed walls of academia, he refined his skills as a feature writer for his college paper. This early passion for storytelling eventually led to a rewarding position as an editor at a data engineering firm, where winning an essay contest in his first month provided him with a months-long stash of dog and cat treats—a true sign of his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then ventured through the world of journalism, working at newspapers across Canada and even in South Korea. He eventually found a home with a major local news outlet in his native Philippines, where he immersed himself in the news for a decade. But soon, a new fascination emerged: cryptocurrency. For him, it was a splendid blend of treasure hunting and storytelling—perfectly up his alley!
He scored an exciting position at NewsBTC, where he’s recognized as a key figure for all things crypto. He simplifies this complex topic into easily digestible pieces, making it accessible for everyone (and he gives a nod to his management team for helping him develop this skill).
Think Christian is all work and no fun? Not at all! When he’s away from the computer, you’ll likely find him indulging his love for motorbikes. A genuine gearhead, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike, relishing the freedom of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed aficionado who reached 120mph (a chance he swore never to take again), he now favors leisurely rides along the coastline, cherishing the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a troop of furry companions awaiting him at home—two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far more intelligent than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he loves all of them equally. Apparently, observing his pets lounging around boosts his ability to analyze and craft meticulously structured articles.
Here’s the deal with this guy: he works hard but keeps himself fueled with enough coffee to power through the day—alongside some mouthwatering (Filipino) cuisine. He believes that a scrumptious meal is the secret ingredient to a great article. After a long day of crypto adventures, he decompresses with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick films.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a bright future at NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of an incredible team, sharing his expertise and passion with a valued community, alongside fellow editors—and bosses—he respects deeply.
So, when you step into the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the person behind the words: the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
