They say journalists never really run out of time. But for Christian, it’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-changing waters of the cryptocurrency market, using words like a seasoned editor and creating articles that break down the jargon for the masses. However, when a PC enters hibernation mode, its activities become more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical).
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the Bitcoin era. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. Her early love of storytelling paved the way for her success as an editor at a data engineering company, where her first month essay win funded a months-long supply of dog and cat food – a testament to her dedication to her furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then entered the world of journalism, working for newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his attention: cryptocurrency. It’s like a treasure hunt combined with a story – right around the corner!
So, he has a great gig at NewsBTC, where he is one of the go-to people for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized chunks, so it’s easy for anyone to understand (he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
You think Christian is all work and no play? Impossible! When he’s not in front of the computer, you’ll find him indulging his love of motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering on his bike and enjoying the excitement of the open road on his 320 cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached speeds of 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers to ride leisurely along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
By the way, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he still adores them all. Apparently, seeing his pet relax helps him analyze and write carefully formatted articles better.
Here’s what’s interesting 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 delicious food is the secret ingredient to killer articles. And after a day of crypto crusade, he relaxes with rum (mixed with milk) while watching a slapstick movie.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he feels privileged to be part of such an extraordinary organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he cherishes, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you enter the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – crypto warrior, fat monkey, and cat philosopher, all rolled into one.
