Bitcoin (from genesis block) operates independently of governments, and yet some of them try to impose a lot of restrictions and regulations on it, and yet it will continue to grow, so government regulation does not play an important role in the success and sustainability of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
I think he meant about the community as a governance, which is community act like a governance, not a governance who control the project. That's similar like Bitcoin where no one is control it and any new proposal need to be accepted by most of Bitcoin developers.The interest of all stakeholders are taken into consideration. Over the years people got bored of the traditional kind of government, crypto freaks want new thing add to it like time locking or some other features that ensure the security and safety of their investment.
What's time locking feature do you mean?Did you mean staking into a centralized pool which mostly POS tokens have this feature? that's nothing new anymore.
Bitcoin also have a time lock transaction where you're create a transaction and set it for a specific date, the transaction will be executed when the time comes.
