When looking at this in terms of profitability mining was a better option before but now with the mainstream coins difficulty, technology and electricity cost became a huge factor.

If the coin has an unlimited supply then it will be worth less further down the line based on an economical point of view. If it is traded at low volume then the volatility can be more risky and more susceptible to pump and dump strategies as well as market manipulation from whales.
