Hardly self governing. For example, and critically, the judiciary is controlled by the Danes which has lead to resentment by many Greenlanders. Further, an offer of 1 million dollars to each adult Greenlander would be gratefully received by most. 

In America's dog-eat-dog economic system, how long do you think that million would last?

Hardly. The USA runs ninth, along with Estonia, according to the Henley passport index. Singapore is first.

How long did Singapore last when the Japanese decided to take it?  How long did Estonia last?  In fact, how long did Denmark last?

 

Look at the current state of the world, especially in SEA and Europe, and tell me which passport you'd prefer if SHTF.

I have a great idea.

 

Get the infested European countries on board to share the cost of turning it into a giant Nauru-like detention/pre-repatriation camp and let Denmark use it for free.

 

Everyone happy. And Greenlanders get well paid secured jobs as guard for decades to come.

That's not the right question to ask.  The relevant question is how their lives in Greenland would change if they had a cool $ million on top of what they already have and already spend.  Plus the opportunities that will open up to to drill baby drill and mine baby mine, at oilfield wages.

 

And that $$ million buys a lot of Obamacare, even as crappy as it is.  And we have high hopes for JFK, Jr's reforms.

Actually, you are very much mistaken. US passport ranks in the 9th place globally, with 26 countries preceding it. Denmark is in the 4th place, so Greenlanders already have more powerful passport than US. https://www.henleyglobal.com/passport-index/ranking

 

And not everybody is obsessed by money the way Americans seem to be. Besides, what are you gonna spend the "$ million smackeroos" on Greenland? Health insurance?
