They say journalists can never really quit. 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, using words like a seasoned editor and creating articles that demystify the jargon for the masses. But when the computer goes into standby mode, his efforts take a 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 editor at a data engineering firm, where his monthly essay winner funded a month-long supply of dog and kitty treats—a testament to his devotion 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 into a local news giant in his native Philippines for a decade and became a news fighter. 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 complicated things down into bite-sized pieces and makes it easy for anyone to understand (he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian is all work and no play? No chance! When he’s not in front of his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorcycles. A true biker, Christian loves touring on his bike and enjoys the joys of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120 mph (something he vowed never to do again), he now prefers a leisurely ride on the beach, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chills, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and one dog. He swears cats are a lot smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he still loves them all. Perhaps watching his pets helps him better analyze and write carefully formatted articles.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he’s fueled by enough coffee to get by – and very tasty (Filipino) food. He says that delicious food is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching steppe movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he feels privileged to be a part of such a great organization and to share his expertise and passion with a community he values and has the deepest respect for his fellow editors and leaders.
So, when you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey and the cat philosopher, all rolled into one.
