I've heard that bip38 is a secure system since it's hard to brute force. I'd like to have a password connected to my paper wallet so that i have an added security measure in case of a random incident were someone came over my paper wallet. Looking into bip38 it seems like there are very few wallets or programs that support it as of yet. For example armory and Gox don't.

My question is if it's still worth using and is there any chance it will be hard to impossible for me to decrypt my wallet in a few years if bip38 died out?
