Blockchain tutorial 13: Base-64 and base-58 encoding

This is part 13 of the Blockchain tutorial explaining what base-64 and base-58 encoding is.
In this video series different topics will be explained which will help you to understand blockchain.
Bitcoin released as open source software in 2009 is a cryptocurrency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto (unidentified person or group of persons).
After the introduction of Bitcoin many Bitcoin alternatives were created. These alternate cryptocurrencies are called Altcoins (Litecoin, Dodgecoin etc).
Bitcoin's underlying technology is called Blockchain.
The Blockchain is a distributed decentralized incorruptible database (ledger) that records blocks of digital information. Each block contains a timestamp and a link to a previous block.
Soon people realises that there many other use cases where the Blockchain technology can be applied and not just as a cryptocurrency application.
New Blockchain platforms were created based on the Blockchain technology, one of which is called Ethereum.
Ethereum focuses on running programming code, called smart contracts, on any decentralized application.
Using the new Blockchain platforms, Blockchain technology can be used in supply chain management, healthcare, real estate, identity management, voting, internet of things, etcetera, just to name a few.
Today there is a growing interest in Blockchain not only in the financial sector but also in other sectors.
Explaining how Blockchain works is not easy and for many the Blockchain technology remains an elusive concept.
This video series tries to explain Blockchain to a large audience but from the bottom up.
Keywords often used in Blockchain conversation will be explained.
Each Blockchain video is short and to the point.
It is recommended to watch each video sequentially as I may refer to certain Blockchain topics explained earlier.

First of all, thank you for your effort. I have a question, I dont understand how Base58 works. Base64 is very easy because 64 is a power of 2 so you can group log_2(64) bits. But Base58 cant be done the way Base64 can it? When you say that it is done in a similar way, could you explain it a little further?
Thank you very much.

bro can you do a video of base 91 encoding 😀

[@hsuhonghai6715]

there is an error on 4:10 ==> Hi to 18,6,36,0 (SGk=) , the 36 = 100100 not 100101

[@Mobilefish]

Thank you!
When creating a group of 6 bits, the values should be:
010010, 000110, 100100, 000000
Convert binary to decimal: 18,6,36,0
Base-64 encoded: SGk=
