After all, there definitely has never been scams, blackmail, or war (literal or figurative) related to traditional currencies.

However, by positioning Bitcoin as a alternative to what most think are corrupt financial institutions, the Bitcoin community is automatically held to a higher standard. So far it's failing miserably to meet that standard.
