can suggest 2 or 3 coin with good potential and team . no ico .
O 2000 dollar is big money, I hope you are doing a good investment. I would spread the money to different coins, maybe 10 different coins for 200$ each or 5 coins for 400$ each, diversification is alsways very good if a coin turns out to have a bad price.
Big coins are always very important to add because they are not likely to fail compared to smaller ones.
Here is my list:
BTC
ETH
EOS
waves
Monero
2 thousand is a cool investment even for a professional trader, not for a beginner. I agree with the choice you have mentioned and offer to add there Eidoo.
