Imagine the internet split into tiny pieces, each country having its own! That's kind of what's happening with blockchains right now. They're like separate computer networks that don't easily talk to each other. This makes using them harder and more expensive.
- Different blockchains are like different countries, each with its own rules and ways of doing things.
- Moving money or information between them is slow and tricky, like sending a letter across the world.
- Experts are working on ways to connect these blockchains, making it easier to use.
