Hello everyone 
I recently came across a fascinating article titled “BITCOIN: THE ENTROPY ENGINE” written by Sydney Bright and published in Bitcoin Magazine.
This reminded me of a book I read a few months ago, “Entropy Demystified: Order, Life & Money” written in 2000 by Valery Chalidze (1938-2018), a physicist and human rights activist. In his book, Chalidze explores how the concepts of entropy can be applied to various aspects of life, including economics and money.
This brings me to an intriguing question: Is it possible that Bitcoin is the work of a physicist?
Chalidze, with his expertise in physics and his interest in human rights and economics, could he have envisioned or even influenced the idea of Bitcoin, a digital currency secured by complex mathematical & physical principles?
I’m curious to hear your thoughts and if you have read Sydney Bright’s article. Do you think there could be a connection between the scientific concepts of entropy explored by Chalidze and the foundations of Bitcoin? Your insights and theories are welcome!
Thank you in advance for your responses.

It honestly might have well been invented by a physicist, the sheer attention to the smaller details that affect the larger population at scale- it is quite something what Satoshi has done. The forethought and innovation in his work was definitely a build off of other cyberpunk work and other electronic methods of cash but he took it to the next level.
