That's a fair statement.  However, this was just a small "think-outside-the-box" way to fund my silver hobby without spending $'s and it does not take much effort at all since I spend a lot of my free time at home on the Internet anyway when I am not working full time at my regular salaried job.  I also want to clarify that I still buy most of my collection with $'s from that full-time salaried job and will continue to do that.  Again, you do bring up a good point but I already have a fulltime job that pays much more than minimum wage.  Getting free bitcoin from the bitcoin faucets is just my way to spend my free time after I get home from work.
