Is this like an introduction or an advertisement ?

He said to solve the puzzle so let's do this just for funsies sake.😆
Base64 is such an interesting way to reform text and it is used so much around the world

https://base64.guru/learn/what-is-base64 Wrote:Base64 is most commonly used to encode binary data (for example, images, or sound files) for embedding into HTML, CSS, EML, and other text documents. Besides, Base64 is used to encode data that may be unsupported or damaged during transfer, storage, or output.

It's a Base64 message
I've deducted that because there are 2 padding characters at the end. These padding characters are used to make pairs of 6 bits.

@Grider you should at least make it informative right?

First, we'll need to get the base2 representative number for each character in this string.
Did you know that bas2 is another word for a binary (Definition: relating to, composed of, or involving two things) number also call it base 2 because there are two possible values zero or one.
Base10 is what we most often use it has 10 possible ranging from zero to nine.
Base64 has 64 possible values and so on and so on.

This is the corresponding table all we have to do is get the binary (6bit!) value of each character.

Now, all we have are groups of 6. 6 bits gives us 64 possibilities hence the name base64
lets put them all into groups of 8 --> 8 bits for an ASCII character!

We are left with 4 zero's that isn't a problem remember the padding characters the two equal marks? we can just ignore those and delete them.

Al that's left now is to convert them back into ASCII characters you can find the table here https://www.ascii-code.com/

Code 
01110100 = t

00101110 = .

01101101 = m

01100101 = e

00101111 = /

01110100 = t

01101000 = h 

01100101 = e

01101001 = i

01101100 = l

01101100 = l

01110101 = u

01101101 = m

01100010 = b --> should be i

00101110 = . --> should be n

01100001 = a

01110100 = t

01101001 = i

01101000 = h

01100001 = a

01100011 = c

01101011 = k

01100101 = e

01110010 = r

01110011 = s

0000 = Padding character each padding character is 2 bits  we have 2 equal marks so 4 padding bits

All in all, I made two mistakes because I was a bit to fast ✌.
And now yall know how to decrypt a base64 back to ASCII although I think that reformat or transform is a better word for this then decrypt.

base64decode.org did the job just as well, not sure what this post is.

The MEGA link in your group is invalid, by the way.
