amusingly, the long term the availability of bitcoin will be zero. every day someone loses their passcode, backups are lost, people die and forget to share the information etc ... eventually, over a long enough time horizon, everyone will make a mistake or be struck down by a series of unfortunate events, thus long term the number of bitcoins available to a transaction will be zero, all will be locked away and lost forever (this is a joke, but worth considering hypotetically)
