Of course GPU mining is still profitable and anyone saying something different is uninformed or trying to keep you from raising the difficulty on their miners! Especially considering how development teams are now actively taking stances against centralization via ASICS. Over the next 12 months and beyond the picture will become clear what projects truly believe the concept and technology of decentralized blockchains and which ones are out for greed.

A line will be drawn in the sand between PoW cryptos and there will be many that vow to be only GPU mine-able forever which will include scheduled hard forks with greater frequency. The GPU only cryptos will have very strong active communities and thus will maintain a more stable and consistent economy than other PoW algorithms. This is already visible via price stability over the last ~6 months especially with the recent market downturn.

It's all about finding the right project, getting in early and contributing to its growth. There are countless GPU mine-able coins coming out all the time, if you find the right one you WILL be wildly profitable.

If your electricity price is below $0.1 kWh, you might still invest in mining. But as the ASIC appears in Ethereum, it is better not to invest more at the moment.
