Because the terminal supply of monero is infinity. So the value would be 0
Discussion
"terminal supply" is a mathematical abstraction which doesn't have any bearing on the real world.
The supply of Monero is never infinite. at any point in time it is algorithmically determined.
It absolutely has bearing in the real world. Its how you make economic decisions on your sov.
The expected loss of purchasing power from increasing supply is a major component of it
lol no, sorry but that's not really credible.
I'm not saying that it plays zero role in economic calculation, but in our discussion its a blip.
today Monero is inflating slower than Bitcoin is. and it will continue that way until the next having. nobody is looking at that and making their primary economic calculation about that.
an algorithmically determined inflation rate of 0.6% and decreasing every block is a blip.
The only people who are fretting about it are Bitcoin maxis who want to use "21 million only" as a purity test and fail to realize it's bad monetary policy.
In about 17 years it will be on 21coins. Inflation yes, but not really a concern I would say, in a practical way.
Just remeber how compounding works. 2% means you double the supply every 36 years (technically cloaset to 35)
All else being equal you've essentially lost 50% of your purchasing power in your working lifetime
