Blockchain is just an alternative to distributed SQL databases, which is clearly better for transaction based applications. It's not a freedom fighter with it's own mind, it's a powerful tool, like upgrading from a simple revolver to an advanced assault rifle.
You have to reclaim your freedom using any tool possible. But never ever go around and tell people they should give up their assault rifles and replace it with a simple knife, just because the enemy started using assault rifles.
which is clearly better for transaction based applications.
Tell me, when do you ever need to do an outside join in a system that only handles transactions. The data structure of blockchains is a linked list, SQL uses tables. And if you do need that operation, what exactly stops you from using SQL tables in your application?

this is wrong on so many levels
Such as? and if you know what it's for, don't bother to explain all it's usage areas, this is a very simplified version for the ignorant.
Do an outside join on the block chain
