They say journalists never really clock out. For Christian, this isn’t just a phrase; it’s a way of life. By day, he skillfully navigates the constantly evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency market, using his words like an experienced editor to create articles that break down complex jargon for everyone. But when his PC goes into hibernation, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realm.
Christian’s journey with writing began long before Bitcoin came into play. He polished his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper within the esteemed walls of academia. This early passion for storytelling ultimately led him to a successful role as an editor at a data engineering company, where a winning essay during his first month funded a long supply of treats for his beloved pets—a true nod to his commitment to his furry companions (more on that later).
He then navigated the world of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea, before planting roots at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for ten years, where he became a bona fide news enthusiast. However, a new fascination caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure hunt entwined with storytelling—perfect for him!
Thus, he secured an incredible position at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the primary voices addressing all things crypto. He simplifies complex concepts into digestible information, making it accessible for everyone (he credits his management team for helping him refine this skill).
Think Christian’s all about work? Not at all! When he’s away from his computer, he indulges in his love for motorbikes. A genuine gearhead, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike and cherishing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who reached 120mph (a record he vowed never to replicate), he now favors leisurely rides along the coast, feeling the breeze in his thinning hair.
On the relaxation front, Christian has a bunch of furry buddies at home: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but his affection extends to all of them. Apparently, watching his pets just chill out helps him craft meticulously formatted articles even more effectively.
Here’s a little insight about him: he works extensively but stays energized with enough coffee to power through the day—and some irresistible (Filipino) food. He believes a fantastic meal is the secret to writing an exceptional article. After a long day of tackling crypto challenges, he unwinds with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a promising future with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of a fantastic organization, dedicated to sharing his knowledge and passion with a community he holds dear, alongside fellow editors and supervisors he truly respects.
So, the next time you dive into cryptocurrency, remember the person behind the words—the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all in one package.
