They say journalists never really clock in. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor; it’s a way of life. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When his PC goes to sleep, however, his activities take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature 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 his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of dog and cat treats—a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then moved around the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a news junkie. But then something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling — right up his alley!
Then he landed a killer job at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down these confusing things into bite-sized chunks, making them easy for anyone to understand (he gives props to his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian is all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not in front of his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorcycles. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120 mph (a feat he swore he’d never repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he loves them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets chill out helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled with 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 article. And after a long day of crypto crusade, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he feels privileged to be part of an incredible organization, sharing his experience and passion with a community he values and with fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So next time you enter the world of cryptocurrencies, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey and the feline philosopher all rolled into one.
