Pronunciation of "Pix"?

[edit]

Could somebody add the correct pronunciation of Pix in Portuguese? I suppose, it rhymes with "fish" rather than "flix" (?) Udo.boehm.demesquita (talk) 09:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Udo.boehm.demesquita Is more flix alike with the "P" as in pound and the "ix" in your flix example. Iagocds (talk) 20:05, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rhymes with licks.
I believe is was introduced to move money among criminal organizations. There is no accountability, and people do not need to identify themselves so no income tax or sales tax on transactions. You can make a PiX number from a cellphone number, and a cellphone "chip" comes with the phone number and can be bought anonymously at news stands or supermarkets for around US$ 2,00.
This article reads like underworld propaganda. Millions have been lost money with PiX scams, and PiX "bets" (gambling). 177.95.194.159 (talk) 12:56, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
