They say journalists never really switch off. But for Christian, it’s not just a metaphor, it’s a way of life. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, uses words like a seasoned editor, and creates articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the computer hibernates, however, his pursuits 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 paper. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a computer technology company, where his first month’s paper winnings funded a months-long supply of dog and cat treats—a testament to his devotion to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled on a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade and became a total news junkie. But then something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks these confusing things down into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for everyone to understand (he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
Do you think Christian is working and not playing? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging in his passion for motorcycles. Christian is a real gearhead who loves tinkering with his bike and enjoying the joys of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120 mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thin hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian has a bunch 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 still adores them all. Apparently watching his pets just chill helps him analyze and write carefully formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to get him 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 crusading, he unwinds 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 a great organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors — and executives — he deeply respects.
So the next time you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the fat monkey and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
