They say that journalists are never really on time. But for the Christian, it’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, using terminology like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that make sense of the jargon for the masses. When a PC goes into hibernate mode, however, its tasks take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
The 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 featured writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where her first month’s article wins funded a month’s supply of dog and kitty treats—her beloved A testament to his dedication to teammates (more on that later).
Christian then moved around the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually settled into a local news 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 her alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing material into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he credits his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think the Christian is all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not on his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorcycles. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and enjoying the joys of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his slicked-back hair.
Speaking of cold, Christian finds a group of cute friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he loves them all anyway. Apparently, just watching her pet calm down helps her analyze and write carefully formatted essays.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day — and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says that a delicious meal is the secret ingredient to a killer essay. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he relaxes with some rum (mixed in milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he feels privileged to be part of a wonderful organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors — and bosses — he deeply respects.
So, the next time you walk into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – crypto crusader, grease monkey, and cat philosopher, all rolled into one.
