But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits 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 a feature 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 his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at 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 his 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 stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy 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 thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. 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 a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.\",\"sameAs\":[\"jomarjet01\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Maker (Takes The Spotlight With 34% Gain","description":"Maker is making waves as it enters Coingecko\u2019s top gainers list this week with massive bullish pressure on the market.

But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits 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 a feature 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 his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later). Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at 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 his 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 stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy 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 thinning hair. Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better. 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 a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies. Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects. So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.","sameAs":["jomarjet01"],"url":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/author\/jomarjet01\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Maker Takes The Spotlight With 34% Gain – Can MKR Hold This Position?\u00a0","url":"http:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/news\/maker-takes-the-spotlight-with-34-gain-can-mkr-hold-this-position\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/news\/maker-takes-the-spotlight-with-34-gain-can-mkr-hold-this-position\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-48.png?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-48.png?fit=336%2C224"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Christian Encila"}],"creator":["Christian Encila"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["crypto news","defi","makerdao","mkr","spark.fi"],"dateCreated":"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z","datePublished":"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z","dateModified":"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Maker Takes The Spotlight With 34% Gain – Can MKR Hold This Position?\\u00a0\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.ktsl888.com\\\/news\\\/maker-takes-the-spotlight-with-34-gain-can-mkr-hold-this-position\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/www.ktsl888.com\\\/news\\\/maker-takes-the-spotlight-with-34-gain-can-mkr-hold-this-position\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/01\\\/a-48.png?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2024\\\/01\\\/a-48.png?fit=336%2C224\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Christian Encila\"}],\"creator\":[\"Christian Encila\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ktsl888.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"crypto news\",\"defi\",\"makerdao\",\"mkr\",\"spark.fi\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-09T12:00:56Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/ktsl888.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-48.png?fit=336%2C224","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568696"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/557"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568696"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568696\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/568706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ktsl888.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
