They say journalists never truly wake up. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a way of life. By day, he navigates the ever-changing currents of the cryptocurrency market, carrying words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decode jargon for the masses. When his PC goes into hibernation, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the Bitcoin era. In the halls of academia, he honed his skills as an essayist for his undergraduate research. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-ever article of the month win funded a months-long supply of dog and cat treats—a testament to his dedication to caring for his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then traveled the world of journalism, working for newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, and became a complete news junkie. But then something new caught his attention: cryptocurrencies. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling — just the way he loves it!
So he landed a great job at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to people for all things crypto. He breaks down these confusing things into bite-sized chunks that are easy for anyone to understand (and he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian is busy working and not having fun? Not a chance! When he’s not sitting in front of his computer, you can find him enjoying his passion for motorcycling. A car enthusiast, Christian loves to tinker with his bikes and enjoy the thrill of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed junkie who could reach speeds of 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), Christian now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his light hair.
Speaking of relaxing, 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 loves them all anyway. Watching his pets relax apparently helps him analyze and write well-formatted essays better.
Here’s what makes this guy tick: He works a lot, but he fuels himself with coffee all day long — and some seriously delicious Filipino food. He says a great meal is the secret ingredient to a great article. After a long day of cryptocurrency research, he relaxes with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching silent comedy movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he feels fortunate to be part of a great organization, to share his expertise and passion with a community that appreciates him, and fellow editors — and bosses — whom he respects so much.
So, the next time you enter the world of cryptocurrencies, remember the man behind the words – crypto warrior, grease monkey, and cat philosopher, all rolled into one.
