They say journalists never suffer. But for Christian, it’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, handling words like a seasoned editor and writing articles that decipher jargon for the masses. However, when the computer goes into hibernation, its efforts take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) direction.
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 writer of articles for his college paper. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering company, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of dog and kitten treats—a testament to his dedication to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then wandered the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local newspaper giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming 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 got a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks this confusing matter down into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for everyone to understand (he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
You think Christian only works without playing? No way! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorcycles. A true shifter, Christian loves to tinker with his motorcycle and enjoy the joys of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120 km/h (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers a leisurely ride along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of relaxation, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are a lot smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets rest helps him analyze and write carefully crafted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: he works a lot, but he feeds on enough coffee to get him through the day – and some really tasty (Filipino) food. He says a delicious meal 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 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 bosses – he deeply respects.
So the next time you step into the world of cryptocurrencies, remember the man behind the words – a crypto crusader, a fat monkey and a feline philosopher all rolled into one.
