Investing $2 into 500 altcoins

Alright, so this is going to sound dumb, and probably is dumb, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

Say I've got $1000 to blow and I'm already investing in the bigger coins, why not take a chance and put $2 into 500 random altcoins that no ones talking about?

The reason I ask is because $2 in a certain meme coin about a year ago would have netted the person a million dollars today, or so I've read, who's to say there isn't another coin that no one's talking about that could net a similar return in a years time?

I'm the kinda guy that plays it safe by the way, DCA and hodl has always been my strategy but this kinda peaked my curiosity...
