> tell me, do you use a similar system for memorising your friends' telephone numbers?

I have used the major system for memorizing numbers including phone numbers. It's a very similar system.

Long streams of numbers are not great for memorizability or accurate entry or human communication. Did you ever try https://file.pizza/ ?

This is also why private keys are typically described as a sequence of words from a wordlist. Used in blockchains, PGP, keybase, etc. It does solve a real problem.
