So Bloomberg thinks people choose the numbers in their wallet addresses and are responsible for any perceived numerological meaning. Are they for real?

Sure the guy could have sat there recreating addresses until one includes this number, but i consider it more likely this is the result of searching randomness for patterns they want to find.

Someone noticed the pattern in the randomness and Bloomberg includes it, as it makes the antagonist more evil and the story more interesting.
