don't invest in new coins, there is no assurance in how the newer projects whether will grow or not the first time it's open to the market.
For me, this is the best strategy that you must have if you don't have much confidence on your investment or the crypto that you are trading on. It's best to avoid newer coins out there as there is no guarantee that it'll go up and it has the most risk compared to the existing crypto out there.
But still there are exemption as sometimes there are new coins that has many support and backers which is highly to pump and be stable.
what you need is just trade in BTC/USDT. hold our coins for a long time and wait for a dip just like what happened since feb 21. it was a big opportunity really, it's however not easy to spot it.
In trading, you must be open to many crypto and not just bitcoin. It's best to spread your investment to different crypto just as the saying goes "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". It's better to know other crypto other than bitcoin.
As for the OP, I suggest that you spread your 2,000$ on different coins that you think has potential. Since you already have experience and you don't have any confidence on your research, I suggest that you double check and have another opinion on other traders or groups.
