Pix is for domestic use right? So tourists who come to Brazil still use Visa and Mastercard as well as Brazilian tourists who travel abroad. Visa and Mastercard are companies of the past, crypto and stablecoins will destroy them sooner or later.

No, for example Argentinian tourists use Belo[1] for paying in Brazil. No need for credit cards.

		It's just buzzwordy bullshit. The European system is just a classic credit/debit system. The Chinese system is a bit more sophisticated, with offline capability and smart contracts. But it doesn't use any distributed proof-of-work/stake stuff.
