I was just wondering if there is anything physics related to Bitcoin, or cyrptocurrency in general, other than like the power requirements and such for the miners/GPU's.

It's a bit of a stretch but you may want to look into Entropy and how it relates to the encryption algorithms used by various crypto currencies, but I'm guessing you may already be aware of this  Tongue

Math is more "fundamental" than physics.
It is more true to say math is related to everything lol. Cheesy

The idea could be said to be mathematical only, but the implementation is highly physical. How is the data of bitcoin stored? The manipulation of electrosensitive substrate, how is that information transmitted? Via electricity and light waves.
