The only way to protect yourself from government as a crypto project is to be ACTUALLY decentralized. If there's no one person you can arrest to stop a project, then that project will be resilient to government.
Ironically, in such a case, you are also less likely to be a target of the government, because you are more likely to pass the Howie test. And if you pass the Howie test, the banks will buy it up as fast as they can. That's why banks are quickly becoming the biggest owners of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
