Bitcoin doesn't have a security budget, it has a marketplace for transaction processing and settlement.

To find the answer to "will bitcoin be secure in the future," think through the following questions:

is the processing and settlement market working today? Why?

Will the same amount or more people be using bitcoin in the future?

Also: Do people need the ability to send hundreds of billions of dollars of value (measured in current US dollars) across borders within 1 hour, with final settlement?

If the answer is yes, the next obvious question is: How much liquidity does that require?

The rest falls in place easily. Simply hold Bitcoin and sleep soundly.
