For the moment, I expect what Walmart is doing is more publicity than anything, positioning themselves with an image of being cutting edge in the world while actually dabbling in crypto as a tangible payment solution.

We had an art gallery here in our town, and in 2016 were proud to be among the first to have a "Bitcoin accepted here" sign on our front door. And we meant it. But it was functional in an art gallery situation where the average item sold was about $200 and it took at least 10-15 minutes to safely pack something up, and in most cases artwork was delivered to people's homes, the next day* so payment confirmations had time to run their course.

As reality would have it, nobody ever paid with crypto... and then Covid "made the decision FOR us" to close down...
