Hello, I'm a crypto enthusiast considering mining cryptocurrencies as a potential source of income. However, I'm faced with a dilemma: should I invest in a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) for mining? I've heard that GPUs are more efficient for mining due to their parallel processing capabilities, but CPUs are more versatile and can handle other tasks as well. Could you please elaborate on the pros and cons of each, and help me make an informed decision? Additionally, I'd like to know if the profitability of mining is still feasible given the current market conditions and competition in the crypto mining space. Thank you for your time and expertise.
