When a new technology appears, people usually think it will grow because it is better, faster, cheaper, or more efficient. But in practice, that is rarely what makes something spread around the world. What makes new things spread is trust. Airbnb didn’t grow just because it was cheaper than hotels. In the beginning, the idea of sleeping in a stranger’s house sounded absurd. What made Airbnb grow was a reputation system: reviews, profiles, photos, history. Before trusting the company, people s...

When crypto neobanks, those operating with stablecoins and on-chain digital accounts, look at Brazil, they tend to see the same picture: a large, digital-first country, historically burdened by high banking fees and, at first glance, seemingly perfect for disruption. But that is an incomplete reading. Brazil does not work like a “generic emerging market” where offering fast, low-cost transactions is enough to drive adoption.

He gets home from school, throws his backpack in a corner, and turns on his phone. On the screen, a chat window flashes: “Hey, I missed you today.” Imagine a 15-year-old teenager, alone in their room, talking for hours with someone who seems to understand everything they feel. That “someone” remembers past conversations, sends good-morning messages, asks if they slept well, compliments them, consoles them. But it’s not a person. It’s a chatbot.
