Bitcoin, Fight Club, and The Economy of Choices! In this week's episode of 'The Economy of Nothing' podcast, we dive into a range of topics from Bitcoin's impact on the economy and choices to an in-depth discussion on the 1999 movie Fight Club. Mike Bedont AKA Captain Tracy reveals his thoughts on Bitcoin's future, debates the nuances of the film Fight Club, and whether he actually watched it.  We also review various shows on HBO Max, including Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Rick and Morty, and the new Apple TV show starring Seth Rogan and our disdain for Jared Leto.
