Ha to your last comment. Litecoin is running but it may slow down after the block reward halving, so keep an open mind to potentially diversifying into some BTC again so you don't kick yourself too hard for trying to flip it before.

Yes, we all have our stories. If it makes you feel better, I have two tragic instances where I was trying to invest and couldn't/a friend hung up on me when I asked how to buy/I was blocked by exchanges for my geographical location early on. I had the money and desire, ready to go, but I couldn't get access to exchanges before two huge bull runs which would've made me completely loaded. I had to watch the coins flying without the ability to buy them, until I finally found access, but far later than I would've... I'd be on a beach right now if my friend didn't hang up on me to deter me in ~2014 or I lived in another State.
