What is a Bitcoin Speculative Attack?
Take for instance there is a rush to purchase bitcoins in Venezuela. This increase in demand will result in a premium for bitcoin in venezuela say $100 above the US market. The result will be speculators rushing in to sell the Bolivars for US dollars to purchase bitcoins. This selloff of the Bolivar will need a response from the government to defend the currency by increasing the interest rate, capital controls or worse.
To fight such speculation the government could sell bitcoins in the market to drive the price down but this would neccessitate the government having access to bitcoins in the first place. The IMF have already discuss contingencies if this scenario should ever eventuate.
At the bottom of it, bitcoin is just Perfect Money. It is accepted all over the world and it can move between borders effortlessly and cheaply. It is a good store of value and over time it's value will always increase secured by the hard limit of 21 million bitcoin to ever exist.
As good money it will always drive out bad. If for any reason the citizens of a country suddenly lose confidence in heir currency perhaps because of hyperinflation through excess money printing, we may get a rush to purchase bicoins to preserve purchasing value.
