They say journalists never really clock out. For Christian, however, this isn’t merely a saying; it’s a way of life. During the day, he navigates the constantly evolving cryptocurrency landscape, using his pen like a proficient editor to create articles that make complex terms accessible to everyone. Once his computer enters hibernation mode, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realm.
Christian’s love affair with writing began long before Bitcoin entered the scene. Within the esteemed walls of academia, he refined his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling led him to an editor position at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay victory funded a lengthy supply of treats for his furry friends – a true reflection of his commitment to his pets (more on that later).
Christian then ventured into the world of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled at a prominent local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a complete news enthusiast. But then, a new fascination emerged: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure hunt combined with storytelling — right in his wheelhouse!
Subsequently, he secured an impressive role at NewsBTC, becoming one of the key figures for all things crypto. He simplifies intricate concepts into digestible bits, enabling anyone to grasp them (he’s grateful to his management team for instilling this talent).
Think Christian’s all grind and no fun? Not at all! When he’s away from his desk, you’ll find him immersed in 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 speed demon who hit 120mph (a record he promised never to break), he now favors relaxed rides along the coast, enjoying the breeze against his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a gang of furry companions waiting for him at home: two cats and a dog. He claims that cats are far smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he loves them all dearly. Allegedly, observing his pets lounging around enhances his ability to write meticulously polished articles even more effectively.
Here’s the scoop on this guy: He puts in a lot of hours but keeps himself energized with enough coffee to last the day – and some seriously tasty (Filipino) food. He asserts that a mouthwatering meal is the secret ingredient for crafting a standout article. After a long day of tackling crypto challenges, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking ahead, Christian envisions a bright future with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of an incredible organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he holds dear, alongside fellow editors and bosses he truly respects.
So, the next time you venture into the world of cryptocurrency, keep in mind the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher all rolled into one.
