>Writein>>5349065>>5348354Mason Hull (Randomly generated name, because names are not important and calling him "The Analyst" all the time is weird), was now in Nigeria and had caught up to this new time zone. The effect of looking directly at dead-eyed human beings so far had only taken so much of at toll on him. He comforted himself by telling himself that "the guys had managed it on less narcotics and with less armor". At the same time, about 66 brave men had died or been crippled, and most of the remainder had suffered enough physically and mentally that they could not be asked to fight in the fields again. Maybe in a few months, with the right medication and treatment, and reinforcements.... They could be mustered into a functioning militia battalion.
The weapons that were captured would either be taken apart and sold back home, or they would be sold in batches to the Western Europe Allies... The ammunition they used was not locally produced, and the reports of the assault rifles would cause incidents of "friendly fire".
However something more imminent and concerning was happening. He had turned on his C4 system this morning and checked his various screens. Based on his access to TOR and checking the blockchains, there was a local drop in Monero prices and a noticeable rise in the Nigerian Naira. Monero was the third most popular crypto currency, and the one with the strongest privacy functions. The drop in price was certainly local, as it was still trending up internationally. Eco was the biggest currency in West Africa, but Nigeria's previous currency was the Nigerian Naira. The changes in prices indicated that there had been changes in both supply and demand.... Someone was dumping Monero for Nigerian Naira , and based on checking the market.... It was not a small number of Monero "wallets", but many "wallets"....and a lot of them were only a few months old or even a few days old.
Either someone was trying to move money and be secret about it, or a lot of shady characters were getting paid out in cash or Monero right now. Nigerian Naira seemed a bit strange, but the old regime had always valued Nigerian Naira at 50-100% more than what the market decided it was worth. The black market would sell goods for Nigerian Naira, get 50-100% more Nigerian Naira, and then cash out at official banks for USD or some other currency. Considering that there was a slight drop in the value of the Eco, it meant that the Nigerian Naira was partially being converted over into Eco.
Whatever this was, it was really effecting black market supplies of Nigerian Naira. It looked like millions of USD worth of value had been moved. Locally, the minimal wage was at worth about 100 USD a month, which made these millions even more troubling.
It got worse though.
