There is no such thing as "token for nooby". You invest in the projects you actually not understand, not on the projects that random people on the internet told you to.
you can buy the coin with already popular brand and available on most exchanges such as bitcoin or ethereum. Avoid small cap coins on small exchanges because the risk of pump and dump.
Scratch that. Regardless if BTC and ETH are on the top or not, don't invest in them either if you don't know what they're used for. If you're not planning on doing research, investing is not for you.
