Imagine streets in a city like New York. Backed up traffic and tolls across any bridge that takes you to another city. Imagine many cities like this. Imagine a subway system being built. It starts off small, just going to a few places but fast, cheap, and reliable. Then grows with more "stations" you can get off and on. Now imagine building rails that went between cities that connect to the subways in each city. Different cities are different blockchains. Stations are exchanges The rails are Stellar.
