so for folks who think there isn't "any real use case beyond speculation," the reason to get on board is that "fortunes are being made"?

I was thinking that earlier today - I've seen plenty of technology come and go, and there are boosters and there are skeptics, but I can't remember anything before where one side said it was the future of everything and the other side saw it as an absolutely value-less grift

In my career so far, I cannot think of any tech that is 10% as polarizing as blockchain/cryptocurrency/NFT. So much investment and activity. So many doubters (me included.) This rift feels like a big deal.

This is the problem with most JWT based systems around logout and revocation. I find this to be an anti-pattern and a very common one. Security here is sacrificed at the altar of scalability and statelessness. #tears

If a user “logs out” and the JWT isn’t invalidated they can still perform actions. Most distributed apps don’t notify all micro services a JWT is no longer valid and the micro service just goes “okay”. And for performance, the micro service doesn’t verify validity.
