Bitcoin\u2019s price has remained relatively stable over the past 24 hours despite the quick escalation on the United States-Venezuela front, the attacks from the Trump-led country, and the capture of the latter\u2019s president.<\/p>\n
Just minutes ago, the POTUS addressed the public after today\u2019s development\u0441, and even hinted at potential actions against Mexico.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, the Trump administration confirmed the speculations that the US was behind the attacks.<\/p>\n Moreover, officials stated that Venezuela\u2019s President, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, and his wife were captured and were being transported to the US.
