RethinkDB[0] looks like a "too good to be true" type of database. Anyone using it in production? What is your experience like? What are the pros and cons?

Lot of Silicon Valley bigwigs, including Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, have heavily invested in cryptocurrency.

Will there be some cryptocurrency integration with Twitter? That could give cryptocurrency some sort of legitimacy because lot of politicians and government organisations use Twitter as a means of communication.

Say, I have following relation:

    (node A.uuid) -- [relation AB.uuid] --> (node B.uuid)

And I store history of a node, say `node A`, as follows:

    (node A.uuid) -- [has:{datetime,session}] --> (node A.history)
    (node A.history) -- [contains:{datetime, session, relation AB.x.uuid, to:node B.y.uuid}] --> (node A.n.uuid)
    :
    :
    (node A.history) -- [contains:{datetime, session, relation AB.p.uuid, to:node B.q.uuid}] --> (node A.0.uuid)

Is this a good approach to store history of a node in a graph database? What are the better ways to do this?

Also, how do I store the history of the relation/edge `relation AB`? Is it same as the node?

If I use graph database as the main DB, then what are the best practices for maintaining history for auditing?

With recent news about market melt-down, I was wondering what really has happened? Anyone with the knowledge please ELI5?

And what are the alternatives to RethinkDB?

If I install something like Wireshark, Fiddler or mitmproxy, will I be able to decrypt all HTTPS content flowing from my computer to the application server of interest? If yes, then how to secure web traffic against such activity?
