Web3 is a buzzword in both Brazilian and American tech communities, representing a paradigm shift toward decentralization. In Brazil, it's particularly popular among startups in São Paulo and among younger, tech-savvy audiences. The term maintains its English form in both markets due to its origin in tech culture, though discussions often mix Portuguese explanations with English terminology. It carries both optimistic connotations about technological freedom and skepticism about speculative cryptocurrency investment.
