It is going to take forever to crack a 64 letter encryption! This would cost a lot more than a btc

Indeed. 2^256 is an unimaginably huge number 115 quattuorvigintillion 792 trevigintillion 89 duovigintillion 237 unvigintillion 316 vigintillion 195 novemdecillion 423 octodecillion 570 septendecillion 985 sexdecillion 8 quindecillion 687 quattuordecillion 907 tredecillion 853 duodecillion 269 undecillion 984 decillion 665 nonillion 640 octillion 564 septillion 39 sextillion 457 quintillion 584 quadrillion 7 trillion 913 billion 129 million 639 thousand 936 (according to wolfram alpha). It would take more energy than the  sun outputs in its entire lifetime just to count this number (with a computer of theoretical maximum efficiency). Nice try.
