People often claim that journalists never truly take a break. For Christian, this notion transcends mere metaphor; it’s his way of life. During daylight hours, he expertly navigates the fluctuating realms of the cryptocurrency sector, utilizing his writing skills like a veteran editor to create articles that demystify complex terms for the general public. When his computer goes into sleep mode, his interests shift towards more hands-on (and occasionally contemplative) activities.

Christian’s passion for writing took root well before Bitcoin entered the scene. Within the esteemed environment of a university, he polished his skills as a feature writer for the campus publication. This early enthusiasm for narrative laid a strong foundation for his later role as an editor in a data engineering company, where a notable essay competition victory provided him with several months’ worth of treats for his beloved pets—demonstrating his commitment to his furry friends (more on that later).

Next, Christian ventured into the world of journalism, gaining experience at newspapers throughout Canada and even in South Korea. Ultimately, he returned to his hometown in the Philippines, where he spent a decade at a major local publication, becoming thoroughly immersed in the news landscape. However, a new fascination soon captured his attention: cryptocurrency. It felt like an exhilarating blend of treasure hunting and storytelling, aligning perfectly with his interests!

Christian then secured a fantastic position at NewsBTC, where he serves as a key contributor on cryptocurrency topics. He skillfully simplifies intricate concepts into easily digestible content, enabling anyone to grasp the subject matter (he appreciates his management team for instilling this important ability in him).

Do you think Christian is all about work and no fun? Not at all! Away from his desk, he engages his enthusiasm for motorbikes. A true enthusiast, he enjoys tinkering with his 320-cc Yamaha R3 and relishing the freedom of the road. Once a thrill-seeker hitting speeds of 120mph (a challenge he vowed to avoid repeating), he now relishes leisurely coastal rides, enjoying the breeze in his thinning hair.

On the home front, Christian has a trio of furry companions awaiting his return: two cats and a dog. He insists that cats possess superior intelligence compared to dogs (sorry, Grizzly), yet he cherishes them all. Observing his pets in their relaxed state helps him analyze and produce well-structured articles more effectively.

The truth about Christian is that he works diligently, but he sustains himself with ample coffee to power through his day—along with some truly delicious Filipino cuisine. He believes that a scrumptious meal is the secret ingredient to crafting exceptional articles. After a long day of diving deep into the crypto world, he enjoys unwinding with a rum (mixed with milk) while catching up on slapstick comedies.

As he looks to the future, Christian envisions a promising path with NewsBTC. He feels fortunate to be part of a fantastic organization, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm with a community he values, alongside editors and supervisors he holds in high regard.

So, the next time you explore the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, keep in mind the individual behind the writing—an emerging crypto advocate, a motorcycle aficionado, and a thoughtful pet owner all rolled into one.
