They say journalists never fully switch off. But for Christian, that’s more than just a saying; it’s his way of life. By day, he expertly navigates the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, wielding his writing skills like a veteran editor and creating articles that translate complex jargon for the everyday reader. However, when his computer goes into hibernate mode, his interests shift to more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) realms.
Christian’s passion for writing began long before Bitcoin made waves. Within the esteemed environment of academia, he refined his abilities as a feature writer for his college newspaper. This early passion for storytelling led to a rewarding role as an editor at a data engineering firm, where a winning essay in his first month provided him with a month-long supply of treats for his pets—an homage to his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then explored the field of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. Eventually, he planted roots at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines, becoming an avid news enthusiast over the course of a decade. But then, a new passion emerged: cryptocurrency. It felt like an exhilarating treasure hunt woven with stories—a perfect fit!
This led him to a fantastic opportunity at NewsBTC, where he has become a key figure in the crypto space. He simplifies this intricate subject, making it accessible for everyone (and he gives credit to his management team for teaching him how to do this effectively).
Think Christian is all work and no fun? Absolutely not! When he’s away from his desk, he dives into his love for motorbikes. A true enthusiast, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike and experiencing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who reached 120mph (a milestone he promises not to repeat), he now cherishes leisurely rides along coastal routes, feeling the breeze on his thinning hair.
On the home front, Christian has a furry family awaiting him. Two cats and a dog grace his life. He firmly believes that cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he adores all of them regardless. In fact, observing his pets lounging around enhances his ability to craft meticulously structured articles.
Here’s the scoop on Christian: He works tirelessly, fueled by enough coffee to power through the day—along with some mouthwatering Filipino cuisine. He insists that a delicious meal is the secret ingredient to producing great articles. After a long day delving into the world of crypto, he unwinds with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick comedies.
Looking to the future, Christian envisions a bright path with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be a part of such a remarkable organization, where he can share his knowledge and passion with a community he cares about, alongside editors and supervisors he deeply respects.
So, the next time you delve into the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the individual behind the words—the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all in one.
