They say that journalists never really clock out. For Christian, this isn’t just a saying; it’s a way of life. By day, he skillfully navigates the turbulent waters of the cryptocurrency market, wielding his writing skills like a veteran editor and crafting pieces that break down complex jargon for the masses. However, when his computer enters hibernation mode, his interests take on a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) dimension.
Christian’s journey with writing commenced long before the advent of Bitcoin. In the esteemed corridors of academia, he sharpened his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling opened the door to a fruitful career as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his victory in a first-month essay competition provided a month’s supply of treats for his beloved pets—a true reflection of his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then ventured into the world of journalism, holding positions at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines, where he immersed himself in news for a decade. However, a new obsession eventually captivated him: cryptocurrency. It resembled a treasure hunt intertwined with storytelling—perfectly in his wheelhouse!
This led him to an incredible position at NewsBTC, where he serves as a key figure for anything crypto-related. He distills intricate topics into simple, digestible formats, making the complex accessible to all (he credits his management team for imparting this invaluable skill).
Think Christian is all work with no fun? Not at all! When he’s away from his desk, you’ll find him indulging 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 reached 120mph (a feat he promises not to repeat), he now favors easy-going rides along the coast, appreciating the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a group of furry companions waiting for his return home: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats are much more intelligent than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he loves them all equally. Apparently, observing his pets lounging around enhances his ability to analyze and produce meticulously crafted articles.
Here’s the scoop on this gentleman: He works hard but keeps himself energized with enough coffee to power through the day—and some truly delectable (Filipino) cuisine. He claims that a scrumptious meal is the essential ingredient for a remarkable article. After a long day’s work in the crypto realm, he unwinds with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking ahead, Christian envisions a bright future at NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of such a fantastic organization, where he can share his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he holds dear, as well as with fellow editors and managers he deeply admires.
So, next time you explore the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words—the crypto crusader, the motorcycle enthusiast, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
