Those two assertions are contradictory. Not everyone has a passport, a lot of people (especially lower-income, which UBIs tend to be pitched as being the most beneficial for) don't own passports.
I suppose it's more a proof of concept than an actual serious attempt at creating a cryptocurrency.
The people "not eligible" for a passport are those too poor to afford the process or those without any other reason to get one.
Only 42% of Americans have passports. A passport is not in and of itself required to live in a country, just to leave one. It's also expensive -- out of reach for many lower income folks. All you really need to get UBI is proof of citizenship, like a birth certificate.
That spin does kinda trivialize the conduct of hooligans - things like simple assault or battery won't be enough, it's more like if you're involved in a specific football hooligan gang, and conspire to do grevious bodily harm and/or arrange organized fights between gangs, and you must have a prior conviction too: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...
