They say reporters never fully switch off. For Christian, this isn’t merely a saying; it’s a way of life. By day, he adeptly maneuvers through the ever-evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency realm, skillfully using his words as a seasoned editor to create articles that simplify the complexities for the general public. However, when his computer goes into hibernate mode, his interests shift to a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) direction.
Christian’s relationship with writing began long before Bitcoin emerged. Inside the esteemed halls of academia, he sharpened his skills as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for narrative expression paved the path for a fruitful role as an editor at a data engineering company, where a win for his essay in the first month provided a month-long supply of treats for his furry friends – a reflection of his commitment to his beloved pets (more on that later).
Christian later ventured into journalism, working at newspapers across Canada and even in South Korea. Eventually, he took root at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines, immersing himself in the world of news for a decade. But then, a new fascination emerged: cryptocurrency. It felt like a blend of a treasure hunt and storytelling – perfectly suited for him!
Thus, he scored an incredible position at NewsBTC, where he serves as one of the key figures for everything crypto-related. He breaks down this intricate subject into manageable segments, making it accessible for everyone (he credits his management team for imparting this valuable skill).
Think Christian is all work and no play? Absolutely not! When he’s not glued to his computer, you’ll catch him pursuing 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 milestone he swore never to revisit), he now favors leisurely rides along the coastline, relishing the breeze in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian’s got a crew of furry companions waiting for him at home: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats possess superior intelligence compared to dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he loves them all dearly. Apparently, watching his pets chill out helps him analyze and craft meticulously structured articles even more effectively.
Here’s the scoop on this guy: he works hard but keeps himself energized with enough coffee to last through the day—and some truly delicious Filipino cuisine. He believes that a mouthwatering meal is the secret ingredient to an exceptional article. After a long day of crypto adventures, he winds down with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedy films.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a promising future with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of such a fantastic organization, eager to share his knowledge and passion with a community he cherishes, and with fellow editors—and bosses—he holds in high regard.
So, the next time you explore the world of cryptocurrency, remember the individual behind the narrative – the crypto warrior, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
