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 – 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’ 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 – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.

Real Vision’s chief digital assets analyst Jamie Coutts believes Bitcoin (BTC) will be at a significantly higher price six months from now.

Coutts tells his 32,400 followers on the social media platform X that the Fed will likely make additional rate cuts in the near future that would inject more liquidity into the markets and cause Bitcoin to surge.

Coutts shares a chart showing the historical relationship between the global money supply (M2) metric and Bitcoin, suggesting an M2 increase would send BTC higher.

“With the strong dollar becoming a real problem, I expected Bitcoin to be in the $80,000 range by now. This speaks to the strength of the underlying bid and the market’s expectations that the Fed will have to act; otherwise, things will start breaking. Regardless of the sequence of events, more liquidity is coming, and Bitcoin should be much higher six months from now.”

Coutts also expects greater adoption of Bitcoin by the private wealth segment, which includes high-net-worth individuals and families, noting these entities “are less concerned than CT’s (crypto Twitter’s) daily obsession over liquidity ups and downs.”

Another one of Coutts’ predictions for the coming months is that the relatively new artificial intelligence (AI) agents crypto sector will continue an upward trend.

Crypto AI agents are protocols built to autonomously perform tasks on behalf of users such as interacting with blockchains and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, trading and managing portfolios.

Said Coutts,

“Interest in AI agents in crypto took off in November 2024. Based on history, this trend is expected to last at least another four months, but probably longer. AI agents are not like the others – they unlock potential for every established and new use case.”

Bitcoin is trading for $94,592 at time of writing, down 2.4% in the last 24 hours.
