They say journalists never really clock out. But for Christian this is not just a metaphor, it is a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like an expert editor and creating articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC enters hibernation mode, however, its activities take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the Bitcoin era. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as an article writer for his college newspaper. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where winning a first-month essay funded a month’s supply of treats for doggies and kittens, testifying of his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then wandered the world of journalism, working for newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled for a decade at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines, becoming a total news junkie. But then something new caught his attention: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling, right up his alley!
Then, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things cryptocurrency. He breaks these confusing things down into bite-sized pieces, making them easy for anyone to understand (he praises his management team for teaching him this skill).
Do you think Christian is all work and no play? No chance! When he’s not at the computer, you’ll find him indulging in his passion for motorbikes. A true motoring enthusiast, Christian loves tinkering with his motorcycle and enjoying the joy of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120 miles per hour (a feat he swore never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely strolls along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxing, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears that cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he still loves them all. Apparently, watching his pets relax helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
The thing about this guy is this: he works a lot, but keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to get through the day – and some really delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delicious meal is the secret ingredient to a killer item. And after a long day of crypto crusades, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he considers himself privileged to be part of an extraordinary organization, sharing his experience and passion with a community he values and with other editors – and leaders – he deeply respects.
So, next time you enter the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind these words: the crypto crusader, the fat ape, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
