Is it worth investing in mining now or is ETH staking safer?

I've been reading mixed opinions: some say that by 2025 mining is basically dead and that staking Ethereum is the only thing that makes sense long term. Others argue there's still profit if you choose good hardware and cheap energy.

Personally, I've tried staking, but I also started looking into mining solutions that promise to be more plug-and-play, like HashMole, where you don't really have to deal with the technical side.

How do you see the balance between staking and mining over the next 2-3 years?
