I'm [34m] getting tired of waiting for my partner's [32m] big break to come along. How do I give him a reality check?
We've been together 4 years. A year in to the relationship, the company my partner was working for shut down. He decided to have some Saturn return time to explore setting up his own business. I was supportive, as I'd just taken a six month "break from life" where I studied full time.
Three years later, his exploration time is still going. There have been many ventures attempted along the way. All of them with a slight "get rich quick" flavour: flipping clothes on eBay (after he watched Girl Boss on Netflix), investing in Bitcoin, drop shipping websites etc. etc. None have become the overnight successes he was looking for, and all were quickly abandoned for the next idea.
For a short time I was supporting him financially 100%, but he was lucky to be offered 15 hours/week work by an acquaintance. He uses this to pay for his share of rent, groceries and bills (which he insists we split 50/50). He rarely has any money left over, so eating out, vacations etc. are usually covered by me. In the three years he hasn't proactively applied for any jobs - more on this later.
He got involved helping a friend run nightclub events that he really enjoys doing, and this is the only venture he's doing now on top of the 15 hours/week day job. But it's been more of a hobby that pays some money, it's never been enough to live off. For a long time I was asked to "please be patient, I know the events are going to take off really soon, I'll be making heaps of money and working for myself". It still hasn't happened. Often I'm asked to put business expenses on my personal credit card because he doesn't have enough cash up front for an event. He does pay me back afterwards.
Along the way I found out he hasn't paid taxes or submitted a tax return in 5 or 6 years. There could be a huge debt hanging over us (or a refund?). I realised today that I've been asking him to see an accountant for advice for the past 18 months and he still hasn't done it. I feel like an idiot for letting it drag on so long. He says that to get his previous pay information he'd need to speak to people from his past he doesn't want to see. He also has a minor ($900) debt with a debt collector which he won't talk openly about.
The situation is creating a lot of tension. The financial gap between us is huge: he earns around $27000 a year (here in Australia that is only slightly above the poverty line). I earn $115000 a year. I have a pretty ambitious plan to travel for three months next year, then bunker down and focus on buying a house. My partner wants both of these things, but he can't contribute. (I don't expect a 50/50 split of costs for these). The avoidance over the tax and debts also worries me greatly.
I'm getting resentful that his attitude after 3 years is still that a get-rich-quick "big break" will come along, even though he works no more than 20 hours a week. He says he hates "being poor", but won't apply for traditional jobs because he is adamant he needs to be his own boss, and he refuses to work a job that's full time hours (it will prevent him from pursuing creative things). Above all I'm tired that he just won't get his shit together - this tax and debt situation still hasn't been addressed after me asking for 18 months.
I can see he feels guilty, and I can see he has a bruised ego after his ventures didn't live up to his (unrealistic) expectations. But he needs a dose of reality. So my question is, how do I tactfully deliver this dose of reality, or is it even worth trying?
TL;DR - My partner has been experimenting with his own unsuccessful businesses for three years. He still thinks a get-rich-quick big break will come along. He hasn't paid taxes in 5 or 6 years and has outstanding debts he won't address. He refuses to work full time. How do I give him a reality check that he needs to get his shit together?

[uncensored-r/BitcoinMarkets] How the Bitcoin price was changing
The following post by SimpleSwapExchange is being replicated because some comments within the post(but not the post itself) have been silently removed.
The original post can be found(in censored form) at this link:

The original post's content was as follows:
Nowadays, the Bitcoin currency rate perhaps is the most unpredictable thing. All predictions about how BTC price will increase or drop are in some way similar to the weather forecasts. No one can tell what will happen to the coin tomorrow. One of the most important factors that experts rely on is the history of the currency rate over the whole period of BTC existence with its dynamics. It is essential to know what was happening to the coin as this allows you to understand what can happen to it in the future.
2009
The first digital currency – Bitcoin – came to the world on January 9, 2009. In the same month, the creator of Bitcoin mined the first block and he also made the first financial operation in the BTC system.
At the beginning of its history, the Bitcoin price was ridiculously low. The first exchange of BTC to US dollars was made in the summer of 2009 when Martti Malmi received 5.02 USD for his 5050 Bitcoins.
The first official Bitcoin exchange rate to the fiat dollar was established on October 9, 2009. At that time, for 1 dollar you could buy 1 309.03 BTC. Many people now regret that they missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin for pennies.
2010
In 2010, events in the cryptocurrency market began to develop more intensively. The Bitcoin Market exchange was opened in February 2010, where it was possible to sell the digital coin. In May of this year, the most well-known deal with Bitcoin had happened. The programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought 2 pizzas for 10,000 BTC. It was the first purchase using cryptocurrency in the real world. He posted a request on the crypto forum saying that he wanted to buy two pizzas. In exchange for that, he offered 10K Bitcoins that back then cost about 40 dollars. And there was a person who agreed to have this deal – it was the 19 years old Jeremy Sturdivant. Jeremy didn’t become a millionaire since then as he spent his coins to travel across the USA.
As for Laszlo, he doesn’t regret about the lost millions. He was mining coins for his pleasure at that time and spent them to different non-significant things.
In July of 2010, BTC price raised to 0.08 dollars. Then in November, the price went up for 50 percent. In general, 2010 was an excellent period for strengthening the position of Bitcoin. The digital currency was almost able to reach the point of one dollar.
2011
BTC overcame the point of 1 dollar only in February of 2011. By early June, the price had grown to 10 dollars. This was a small victory for Bitcoin. Another maximum was set at the point of $31.91. In the middle of June 2011, there was a sharp drop in price: from 31.91 again to 10 dollars.
The year 2011 was full of negative events. One of them happened on June 13, when a user’s electronic wallet was first hacked and 25 thousand coins were stolen from there. In a few days, some geeks hacked MtFox exchange where they got data of sixty thousand users. These events negatively affected the Bitcoin rate. It became clear that in the future the price of digital currency will be determined taking into consideration any events that occur in the market.
2012
In 2012, the exchange rate was ranging from 8 to 12 dollars per 1 BTC. This period was also rich in significant events. One of them is that Bitcoin Central bank began its work. This bank received a license and was even recognised by European regulators.
2013
February 22, 2013, was the day when Bitcoin began to grow again. The price reached the mark of $30. Another increase occurred at the end of January – $31.9. The upward trend continued. March 22 rate was 74.9 dollars per BTC.
On the first day of April, the price went up to $100 and within another nine days, the BTC price grew to 266 dollars. But the growth did not last long. By October it was $109. The possible reason for that is the arrest of an anonymous trading platform Silk Road.
Since November 2013, the price of Bitcoin began to grow anew. By the end of the month, the price exceeded all expectations and raised up to $1,200 per coin. The reason for overcoming the $1,000 point was the BTC support by Zynga game creator. Experts also noted another event that could affect the growth: one of the higher education institutions in Cyprus started accepting the Bitcoin as payment for tuition.
But by the end of the first week of December, the price was 1,000 dollars. In the middle of December 2013, the BTC price dropped to 600 dollars because the China Central Bank prohibited the country’s financial institutions to maintain operations with cryptocurrency.
2014
During the year 2014, there happened rather a significant amount of events that had an impact on the Bitcoin volatility. In the first days of January, 1 BTC was equal to 770 dollars. In February it was 700 dollars. Summer 2014 slightly strengthened the reputation of the cryptocurrency.
Many experts think that it was 2014 when BTC strengthened its position in the market, in spite of the fact that Bitcoin price was low – by the end of the year it settled in at around 310 dollars. In 2014 investors began to consider Bitcoin as a potential investment as Bitcoin price predictions seemed quite attractive.
2015
At the beginning of 2015, the BTC price started rising: with 177 dollars in January to 281 dollars to March. The number of people who were trading Bitcoin increased – there were about 160,000 people was buying and selling BTC on exchanges by August 2015. In one period of 2015 the Bitcoin price grew up to 500 dollars, but to the end of 2015, it dropped to about 350 USD.
2016
In 2016, Japan declared Bitcoin as a currency and allowed to use it to pay for goods and services. South Africa was the next who did the same. In April 2016, BTC rate went up and reached $454 per coin. By the end of May, 1 BTC was already worth $600. The reason for the price increase might be the growth of the number of transactions in the Chinese market. The highest price in 2016 was in December – $950 for one Bitcoin.
2017
The year of 2017 was an incredible period in respect of BTC price. It started with $1,000 for 1 coin. Already in June, it was $2,600. By the beginning of September, the price jumped to $5,000 per 1 BTC. December 11, 2017, became a historic day: within a few hours, the price moved up from 5,700 to 19,000 dollars. On December 16, the Bitcoin price achieved a record and was above 20,000 US dollars.
How did this happen? Here are some reasons that experts point due to the growth of Bitcoin price:
- In 2017 social media broadcasted a lot of information about Bitcoin and the blockchain system;
- China resumed cashout of bitcoins from the Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges;
- In December 2017, the United States officially allowed trading futures for Bitcoin;
- The number of companies and people who were buying BTC increased as they considered Bitcoin the profitable investment and etc.
However, later in December, the price plummeted from 20 000 dollars to 12 000 dollars. Experts had different reasons including that one of the first cryptocurrency creators sold out all his digital savings and called such investments too risky.
2018
During the first 4 months of 2018, the price of BTC dropped below 7,000 USD. These negative dynamics were quite logical because the rise is always followed by the fall. For the first time since October 2017, the Bitcoin price fell below 6,000 dollars. On November 25, the price of Bitcoin fell even lower – $3,676 per 1 BTC. By mid-December, the bitcoin rate fell by almost 80% to its yearly rate, the price was $3,200.
Nowadays
What can we expect in 2019? What Bitcoin price predictions do crypto experts have? People hope that 2019 will bring new opportunities for Bitcoin and also other cryptocurrencies. Some investors and crypto enthusiasts predict that the BTC price will grow to 40 – 50,000 USD by the end of 2019. One of them, John McAfee, is assured that the price will rise to 1 million dollars by the end of 2020. He even had a bet that he posted in his Twitter saying that he would eat his “love muscle” if his BTC price prediction will not come true.
There may be a number of factors that can influence the BTC price in 2019. They are:
- Nasdaq, the world’s second largest exchange plans to launch futures for Bitcoin;
- Coming out of the first crypto-ETP in the world;
- and many other unpredictable factors that can change the price of Bitcoin.
As it was said before, Bitcoin price predictions are almost like the weather forecast – you never know what price it will have tomorrow. If you think about investing in BTC or any other cryptocurrency you should follow its rate at present time but never forget to compare it to the past. But please, don’t bet to eat any of your body parts ??
