In this episode of Drilling into Crypto, Mohamed El-Masri sits down with Bjørn Kienholz Bjercke, known as "Mr. Bitcoin Norway", to confront the uncomfortable realities shaping the global financial system. We explore how economic wars, sanctions, and monetary weaponization are accelerating the erosion of fiat currencies—and why globalization has quietly stripped individuals of real monetary choice.
Bjørn explains how Bitcoin offers an alternative: a transparent, borderless system where people can choose their money rather than have it imposed. The conversation revisits Bjørn’s pivotal role in exposing the OneCoin fraud, one of the largest financial scams in history, and dismantles the myth that Bitcoin thrives on criminal activity. We examine how ISPs, blockchain analysis, and open ledgers make Bitcoin one of the most traceable financial systems ever created—turning the “illicit use” narrative on its head. This episode is not about price.
It’s about power, transparency, and freedom of choice in a world where money is increasingly used as a weapon.
