Buying it is too difficult. I have to trade crypto for it on blocktrades and always feel like i get ripped off.

You should feel that way. lol I think you can avoid the 10% blocktrades fee if you transfer Steem directly to your account.

About $3 worth - just three days of faucet claims. I transferred from wallets to blocktrades for Steem.

Nice! What faucet did you use?
I'm the only person who ever upvotes you?

It seems that way!
I use the coinpot faucets. It is "beer money"
