Take your time and learn for a month before you go jumping in head first. Setup a way to buy Bitcoin like from coinbase, setup a trading exchange like bittrex, learn how to transfer and learn how to use wallets and store your coins safely off the exchanges..... There is alot to learn.... And 1000 coins and most of them might not make it or be pump and dumps. It took me 2 months of constant research to learn the basic ins and outs... And I'm just scratching the surface of understanding.
