Crypto Mining in 2026

I've mined ETH a couple of years back using just my graphics card on my computer. I'm now looking to get back into mining, with more specialized hardware.

So my questions are:
-Which crypto would you recommend starting out on?
-Which miner(s) are beginner friendly?

I'm willing to put about € 1,000 into it initially and possibily scale accordingly.

Much appreciated!
