2048 words in 6 positions is simply not enough entropy for the NSA's encryption cracking infrastructure. If it is worth it they'll crack it. The NSA does not use a single ASIC cracker.

That's an extremely different proposition. Pretty sure the NSA isn't into stealing bitcoins.

That's 66 bits of entropy. With a quantum computer having 66 logical (error corrected) qubits, the pass phrase can be cracked in under a day.

That's not too far off, maybe a few years before one is commercially available.
