People often say that journalists are never truly off the clock. For Christian, however, this isn’t merely a metaphor—it’s a way of life. By day, he skillfully navigates the fluctuating landscape of the cryptocurrency market, wielding his pen like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that make complex jargon accessible to everyone. But when his computer goes into hibernate mode, his passions shift to a more mechanical—and occasionally philosophical—direction.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before Bitcoin became a household name. Within the esteemed walls of academia, he polished his craft as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early flame for storytelling set the stage for a fruitful tenure as an editor at a data engineering firm, where an essay he authored in his first month funded a long-lasting supply of treats for his beloved pets—a testament to his commitment to his furry friends (more on them later).
Christian then explored the world of journalism, writing for newspapers in Canada and even spending time in South Korea. Eventually, he settled at a significant local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming completely immersed in the news world. But then, something new piqued his interest: cryptocurrency. It felt like an exhilarating treasure hunt interwoven with storytelling—perfectly aligned with his passions!
Thus, he secured an amazing position at NewsBTC, becoming one of the go-to experts for all things crypto. He simplifies complicated concepts into digestible information, making it easy for anyone to grasp (he credits his management team for imparting this valuable skill).
Do you think Christian is all work and no fun? Think again! When he’s away from his desk, you can find him pursuing 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 who reached 120mph (a daring feat he promised never to repeat), he now enjoys laid-back rides along the coastline, feeling the breeze in his thinning hair.
On a relaxing note, Christian has a family of furry companions waiting for him at home: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far smarter than dogs (apologies to Grizzly), but loves them all equally. Apparently, watching his pets lounging around inspires him to craft meticulously formatted articles.
Here’s the scoop: He puts in long hours but fuels his day with enough coffee to power through—and some mouthwatering Filipino cuisine. He believes a delicious meal is the key ingredient to writing a standout article. After a taxing day in the crypto realm, he relaxes with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking ahead, Christian envisions a bright future at NewsBTC. He feels privileged to be part of an incredible team, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he cherishes, along with editors and bosses he deeply respects.
So, the next time you delve into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—this crypto crusader, gearhead, and feline philosopher, all in one.
