Introduction

The purpose of Stellar is to connect financial institutions via the blockchain and provide cheap transactions in developing markets.

We can see that Stellar follows the up-wave of crypto with impressive stats
I also like how the community communicates, and the careful selection of graphics. The name and logo are perfect, and if you think those things are not important you are wrong. The community - The graphics - The image - The marketing is very important for crypto since is decentralized and nobody will give a coin for you just to swallow it like a government or a bank.
In conclusion, i can say one thing! I LIKE STELLAR and i will buy some the next days to have a motive to watch it in depth.
