It is often said that journalists never really clock out. However, for Christian, this isn’t merely a figure of speech; it’s a way of life. By day, he expertly maneuvers through the constantly changing currents of the cryptocurrency landscape, using language like an experienced editor and creating articles that make the complex terms understandable for the general public. When his computer enters hibernation mode, though, his ventures take on a more mechanical (and occasionally philosophical) nature.
Christian’s relationship with the written word started long before Bitcoin became a phenomenon. Within the respected corridors of higher education, he refined his abilities as a feature journalist for his university publication. This initial passion for narrative opened doors for a fruitful role as an editor at a data engineering company, where his victory in a first-month writing contest provided a prolonged supply of treats for his beloved pets – a true reflection of his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian then explored the field of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. Eventually, he established roots at a prominent local newspaper in his native Philippines for a decade, transforming into an avid consumer of news. Yet, something fresh captured his attention: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure expedition intertwined with narrating tales – exactly his forte!
Consequently, he secured an amazing opportunity at NewsBTC, where he serves as one of the primary experts on all things crypto. He simplifies this intricate subject into digestible segments, making it accessible for everyone to grasp (he credits his management team for instilling this ability in him).
Think Christian is all about work with no leisure? Absolutely not! When he’s away from his screen, you can find him embracing his love for motorcycles. An enthusiastic gearhead, Christian enjoys tinkering with his bike and relishing the thrill of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed enthusiast who reached 120mph (a feat he promised himself not to repeat), he now prefers relaxed rides along the coastline, enjoying the breeze through his thinning hair.
On the subject of relaxation, Christian has a squad of furry companions eagerly awaiting his return at home. Two cats and a dog. He insists that cats possess a greater intelligence than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he cherishes each of them equally. Evidently, observing his pets just lounging helps him analyze and compose meticulously structured articles even more effectively.
Here’s the deal about this guy: He puts in a lot of hours, but he keeps energized with sufficient coffee to navigate through the day – alongside some truly scrumptious (Filipino) cuisine. He claims that a mouthwatering meal is the secret element to a fantastic article. And after a lengthy day of tackling the crypto world, he relaxes with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick comedies.
Looking forward, Christian envisions a promising future with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of a remarkable organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he values, and alongside editors – and superiors – he holds in high regard.
So, the next time you step into the realm of cryptocurrency, keep in mind the individual behind the words – the crypto warrior, the grease monkey, and the feline thinker, all rolled into one.
