64bit will kill all 32bit wp's?

I got this Lumia 930 sd800 32bit, would it get utterly useless when 64bit phones start emerging? Only 64bit apps developed?

First off, there hasn't been any announcement, heck not even a single rumor, about a 64 bit powered Windows Phone as of yet. Secondly, Microsoft has a huge tradition in providing support for legacy code. If I remember correctly the last pieces of 8bit supporting code vanished from Windows with Windows 2000.
Good thing about 64 bit systems is downwards compatibility.They can easily run 32bit applications. Just not the other way round.

Thank you! And yes that's what I'm worried about, no 32 bit app versions of the 64bit apps to come..

worry no more, it hasn't been an issue for other phones, hasn't been a major problem on PC (with 32-bit still a default of sorts)
