Is it even likely that the US will have any money to spend on such research in the next 20 years?

Yes, good argument. Most governments will schrink in size over the next year. Hell, the shutdown
of the entire country last year was the reality of it crashing in. I wonder what will happen end of this month,
when they're gonna have to raise the debt cealing again. It's hard to say what's going to happen.

But, still we have to think about the next step of security, thus also improving the cryptography of btc.
From a more broadened perspective; many facets of btc will (have to) evolve over time. F.i. storing your
data on USB-sticks might not be common anymore in 5-10 years. Certainly in this time where technological
evolution is growing exponentially, expect everything to change.
