Maybe this is just a temporary project and nothing more? Do not fantasize ahead of time.
Blockchain though is permanent, if Walmart finds it's very interesting and can help them in their daily business decisions so why note? I'm not sure why you tell people not to fantasize, I mean many companies are slowly hedging bitcoin or any crypto in their balance sheet, so that's not fantasy but reality already.
So we will have to see what Walmart's decision will be, I think they have seen what happen to Facebook supposedly Libra coin, so I doubt that they will go that way.
