Ummm, no, Mike, they don't.
I'm aware that the USA is a special case and that's why I specifically mentioned it in my talk. In other parts of the developed world passport ownership is much higher. The UK Passport office issued over 5 million passports in the last year alone, for a country of about 65 million people.
Anyway, any American that wants a passport can get one. And passport ownership there has been going up steadily over time.
You're glossing over this like it's insignificant. In the UK, passport ownership is relatively high at 75%. In the US, it's 30%. In Canada, it's 60%.
While it has been increasing in the US due to relatively new Canada and Mexico restrictions, most Americans will never get a passport if they are not travelling outside the US. It costs close to $200, is a royal pain that requires several steps, takes months to get, and then expires in 10 years.
While UK ownership might be high at 75%, I doubt that the US is a special case unless you think that only the US and Europe matter. I'd like to believe that Bitcoin isn't just for Europeans or the US citizens.
