They say journalists never leave work. But for Christians it is not just a metaphor, it is a way of life. By day, I write articles that navigate the ever-changing waters of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words and deciphering jargon for the masses like a seasoned editor. But when the PC goes into hibernation, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the Bitcoin era. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his skills as a feature writer for college papers. An early love of storytelling paved the way for a successful job as an editor at a data engineering company, where his first month’s essay winnings kept him supplied with dog and cat treats for months. This is a testament to his devotion to his furry friends (more on this later).
After that, Christian wandered the world of journalism, working for newspapers in Canada and even Korea. He eventually settled down for a decade at a local news outlet in his native Philippines and became a full-blown news junkie. But the new thing that caught his eye was cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt combined with storytelling. It was right up his alley!
That’s what makes him one of the top cryptocurrency experts at NewsBTC. He breaks this confusing material down into small pieces that anyone can easily understand. (He pays tribute to the executives who taught him this skill.)
Do you think Christians are all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not on the computer, you can find him pursuing his passion for motorcycles. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bikes and enjoying the joys of the open road on his 320cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who reached 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat again), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chilling, Christian has some furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and one dog. He swears that cats are much smarter than dogs (sorry, grizzly), but he likes them all anyway. Apparently, seeing his pets resting helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles.
The characteristics of this person are: He works a lot, but he fuels himself with enough coffee and really good (Filipino) food to get him through the day. He says a good meal is the secret to a killer article. After a long day working in cryptocurrency, he relaxes by watching slapstick movies and drinking rum (mixed with milk).
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he is privileged to be part of a great organization and to share his expertise and passion with the community he cherishes, his fellow editors and his superiors.
So next time you step into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words cryptocurrency crusader, oil monkey, and cat philosopher.
