I guess it all comes down to the value of Bitcoin itself, which is broken down into its constituents. For example:

- price of mining equipment

- price of energy

- value of the ideology

If you can get all the items for less than market price, then mining Bitcoin is worth it. I expect once we get to a certain block reward, the value of the ideology will need to go up
