They say journalists never really leave work. But for Christian, it’s not just a metaphor, it’s a way of life. By day, he rides the ever-changing waves of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. But when his computer goes into hibernation, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the Bitcoin era. He honed his skills in the esteemed halls of academia as a columnist for his student newspaper. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful career as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay winnings funded a month’s supply of dog and cat treats—a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then wandered the world of journalism, working at 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 geek. But then something novel caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like treasure hunting combined with storytelling—perfect for him!
So he got a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for cryptocurrency stuff. He breaks down these complicated things into bite-sized pieces that are uncomplicated for everyone to understand (he gives kudos to his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian works and plays? No way! When he’s not at his computer, he indulges his passion for motorcycling. A true motoring enthusiast, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joys of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120mph (a feat he swore he would never repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast with the wind in his hair.
Speaking of relaxing, Christian has a crew 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 loves them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just relax helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but sustains himself with enough coffee to get him through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a gourmet meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto-crusading, he unwinds with a little rum (mixed with milk) and slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a glowing future with NewsBTC. He says he feels privileged to be part of an incredible organization, sharing his knowledge and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and executives – he deeply respects.
So next time you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind those words – a crypto-crusader, mechanic, and cat philosopher all rolled into one.
