AWS’ suggested upgrade path is Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL — which also does audit logs. So as usual, the answer to which database is: just use Postgres.

it’s amazing how often Postgres is the sane implementation for a database-shaped problem, including a search engine just waiting for a competent ranking algorithm and a crawler (yes I’ve considered doing this)
Just another bear/bull cycle. It's not good as a currency, no Gen 1 crypto is.

Regarding OFAC, making payment to any ransomware illegal, I have long pondered if participating in cryptocurrencies that is or has been used for ransomware payments shouldn't be considered under money laundering laws. That might make most cryptocurrencies illegal, or rather shine the light on the main useages already being illegal.
