Helle hope all is well! I have exactly $500,000.00 ready to go and I want to get into mining digital currencies! I wanted the peoples opinion if I should get into ASIC mining or stick with GPUS. Everyone in other treads are saying I shouldn't get into this if I don't know anything about it but everyone starts somewhere right?

My background in in computer science and cyber security. I got my bachelors in CS from Chapman University and my Masters at Stanford University... so I know a think or two but I'm new to crypto!

Back to my question.. should I get into ASIC mining or GPU? Should I focus on mining BTC or other coins? I'd love some opinions from fellow Crypto users!
Thanks in advanced!
