            Why use base58?

            The more characters you have in your base, the less you will need to use to represent big numbers.
         | 
| 202 | 
            +
            The bigger your base, the shorter your "number". Example:
         | 
| 203 | 
            +
             | 
| 204 | 
            +
            ``` ruby
         | 
| 205 | 
            +
            base10( 9999 )  #=> 9999      - decimal
         | 
| 206 | 
            +
            base16( 9999 )  #=> 270f      - hexadecimal
         | 
| 207 | 
            +
            base58( 9999 )  #=> 3yQ
