 I’m interviewing a French political candidate on stage today, Aurore Galves Orjol. 

She is standing on a Pro bitcoin platform:

“You’re fed up of voting white so vote orange” is my slightly deranged translation of her slogan.  

She is the first and ONLY bitcoin candidate France has seen. 

I’m buzzed as I first met her 3 years ago when she ran Bitcoin Lyon, a bitcoin only education space in Lyon. 

What would you want to ask her? 
 Would she be willing to take the risk of putting up a public #bitcoin address for donations? 
 Joe va faire une interview de la candidate aux Législatives: Aurore Galves. 
Pro bitcoin et co-fondatrice de bitcoin Lyon.

 Do you think it’s possible to change the political system. 
Ex:
How to change the monetary policies?

How to get other political leaders to understand what bad money do to the world?

Have a fantastic day Joe! 
 Est-ce que sa candidature aux législatives c'est fait sur un coup de tête suite à la dissolution de l'assemblée ou elle l'a deja penser avant et prévu de se lancer dans la politique ? 
 Comment elle présentera le bitcoin au gouvernement ?  
 Est-il possible de reduire ou annuler la taxe de 30% sur la plus-value en bitcoin en France ? Qui est un frein pour les commerçants d'accepter le bitcoin et aussi pour le développement de nouvelles entreprises se concentrant sur le bitcoin.

Is it possible to reduce or cancel the 30% tax on bitcoin capital gains in France ? which is an obstacle to merchants accepting bitcoin and also to the development of new businesses/start up focusing on btc. 
 Clair la flat tax c’est l’enfer 
 Le gouvernement actuel est anti-bitcoin sans dire qu'ils le sont. Typical 🇫🇷   😅 
 Other than yay Bitcoin, what do you intend to do once you have some sort of power? 
 That’s great! I dropped by Bitcoin Lyon on the day it’s closed 🥹

Is Aurore thinking about the replicability nationwide and abroad of her and Nicolas Cantu’s “pleb is a local Bitcoin candidate” model?

That’s such a great trojan horse for education! 
 "voting white" it's normal in france 😅  it means blank vote. But yes, the slogan sounds weird in English 🤦‍♂️😆 
 lol i know oopsie 
 Since she seems to be the only pro-Bitcoin politician (if that's true), a) are there (coordinated) efforts in French politics to ignore the bitcoin message and b) what is needed in order to bring more bitcoi awareness to the political landscape in France? 
 
 Would she swap out central bank gold for bitcoin, or a bitcoin ETF 
 Would she allow contracts to be settled in bitcoin or taxes to be paid in bitcoin. Allow bitcoin ETF or equivalent market place investing? 
 When moon 😝
