My SO has banned me from buying bitcoin. I watched bitcoin go down to $425 / BTC on coinbase briefly a couple days ago, but I was unable to take advantage of it. My SO has declared, "Bidcoin is just a ponzi scheme cooked up by nerds. If you buy any bidcoin, I will break up with you. I don't sleep with nerds." 
So, I called up my "nerd" buddy and told about the low price, he bought in and now is sitting on a 30% profit. He made $3000 in less than 48 hours (he bought at $450/BTC, it's now $585 on Winkdex). My "nerd" buddy bought me a beer. At least I got a beer out of it.
(I have to look at it from the bright side)

(I have to look at it from the bright side)if you mine coins, take your SO out for a meal in a place that accepts bitcoins. then only pay half the bill. the your SO you would pay the whole bill, but your SO already agreed they dont want anything to do with it. that they better change their mind right away and youll pay the other half of the meal or they will pay for it themselves.
when it comes to costing them something because they are not involved, they do suddenly start getting interested. just to save themselves some money
