There is a total availibility of 18.4 million Monero in the market, and out of that 16.7 million has already been mined, since the genesis of the cryptocurrency back in 2014.

Now as mentioned before, the limit of mining Monero is 18.4 million, 16.7 million of which has already been mined. It has been noticed that a more finite a resource is, the more valuable it becomes.

Now Let me know what you guys think about it? Will Monero Reach $500 in 2019?

Monero will have 18.1 million mined mid 2022. So in 3 years time.  After that it will add like 150k XMR every year. And that way forever secured its network not needed  to rely on fees.  Number of daily mined Monero decrease drastically. and went from 25k in April 2014 to 2150 XMR today. 25k XMR mined daily was huge selling pressure that kept Monero price low for years. Now that pressure is slowly going away and that will reflect on Monero Bitcoin ratio.

I dont think $500 Monero in 2019 is likely to happen. Yes of course it is possible but for that needs a serious adoption to happen. Without that adoption to happen and relying only on Bitcoin cycle we should see a $500 Monero in beginning of 2021.

I didn't know that there will be a constant issuance of 150k Monero per year. Will it be 150k per year infinitely?
Every year the issue of Monero coins will decrease.
but in the coming years, the release of new coins will be at the level of 100-150 thousand per year.

Yes and then finally the block reward will go to zero and the network incentives will only come from transaction fees?

No it will stay at around 150k.  What will decrease is a % that that will add to the whole number of coins in existence. I believe it will be 0.87% yearly and then just decreases slowly.   Gold yearly mined inflation is between 1.5% and 2%.  Current Monero yearly issuance inflation is around 4%

Ok thank you for the clarification. Do you think that it is good to have an infinite issuance of 150k per year? Could that in theory be changed if the majority of the network agrees or what are the majority rules for such changes? Do you know that?
