They say journalists never really clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-changing tides of the cryptocurrency market, juggling words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. However, when the PC enters hibernation mode, its goals take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
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 an editor for his university work. This early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering company, where his first-month trial victory funded a months' supply of dog and kitten treats, a testament to his dedication to your furry companions (more on this later).
Christian then toured the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He eventually established himself as a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then something new caught his attention: cryptocurrencies. It was like a scavenger hunt mixed with storytelling – your thing!
So, he landed a great job at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks this confusing stuff down into small pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (kudos to his management team for teaching him this skill).
Do you think Christian is all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not in front of his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorcycles. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120 mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely strolls along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of peace of mind, Christian has a group of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears that cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he loves them all anyway. Apparently, watching your pets relax helps you analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here's the thing about this guy: he works a lot, but he stays fueled with enough coffee to get him through the day and some really delicious (Filipino) food. He says that delicious food is the secret ingredient to a spectacular item. And after a long day of crypto crusade, 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 an incredible organization, sharing his experience and passion with a community he values and with fellow editors (and bosses) whom he deeply respects.
So, the next time you enter the world of cryptocurrencies, remember the man behind the words: the cryptocurrency crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher all rolled into one.
