It’s often said that journalists never really log off. But for Christian, that’s not merely a figure of speech; it’s a way of life. During daylight hours, he maneuvers through the constantly evolving currents of the cryptocurrency landscape, wielding language like a skilled editor and producing articles that demystify the terminology for everyday readers. However, when his computer enters sleep mode, his interests take a more mechanical (and at times philosophical) direction.
Christian’s adventure with the written form began well before the rise of Bitcoin. Within the revered halls of education, he refined his abilities as a feature writer for his university publication. This early passion for narrative laid the groundwork for a fruitful period as an editor at a data engineering corporation, where his first-month prize essay financed a prolonged supply of pet treats for his dogs and cats – a testament to his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).
Christian subsequently traversed the realm of journalism, contributing to newspapers in Canada and even in South Korea. Eventually, he established his roots at a major local news outlet in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a complete news enthusiast. But then, something novel captured his attention: cryptocurrency. It felt like a treasure quest blended with storytelling – a perfect match for him!
Thus, he secured an exceptional position at NewsBTC, where he becomes one of the primary sources for all things crypto. He simplifies this perplexing material into manageable portions, making it accessible for everyone (he gives credit to his management team for imparting this ability).
Do you think Christian is all about work and no fun? Absolutely not! When he’s away from his machine, you’ll catch him immersing himself in his love for motorbikes. A true enthusiast, Christian enjoys fiddling with his bike and relishing the freedom of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed fanatic who reached 120 mph (an achievement he promised himself never to replicate), he has since gravitated towards leisurely rides along the coast, basking in the breeze of his thinning hair.
On the topic of relaxation, Christian has a group of furry companions awaiting him at home. Two felines and a canine. He insists that felines are far more intelligent than canines (apologies, Grizzly), but he treasures them all regardless. Apparently, observing his pets just lounging around assists him in crafting meticulous articles even more effectively.
Here’s the deal with this fellow: He puts in a lot of hours, yet he keeps himself energized by consuming enough coffee to navigate through the day – along with some incredibly scrumptious (Filipino) cuisine. He claims that a tasty meal is the secret element to an extraordinary article. And after a long day of crypto reporting, he relaxes with a glass of rum (mixed with milk) while enjoying slapstick films.
Bearing in mind the future, Christian envisions a promising path with NewsBTC. He mentions feeling fortunate to be part of a remarkable organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he cherishes, as well as fellow editors – and superiors – he holds in high regard.
So, the next time you step into the realm of cryptocurrency, remember the individual behind the prose – the crypto warrior, the tinkerer, and the cat philosopher, all melded into one.
