The point is on the ownership of the database and the trust among participants.
In Datomic there is a single owner that has full control on the data (probably you, or a company that you fully trust).
In the blockchain use-cases there are multiple parties that depend on the data, and no one of them is trusted enough to have full control on the database. (trust-less scenarios)
Apart from Bitcoin[0] check out the original trustless timestamping service proposal [1].
