You can make your own cryptocurrency thats true, just need copy pasting skill and your pesonal coin done. But on what purpose you create that coin ? just for fun or for comunity ? Anyway creating token will be more easy.

hi friends, i think so much to learn if you want to make a cryptocurrency, among them is we have to know and master various knowledge about technology like blockchain, network and others.
my advice, if you really want that, try to join the team from a project.

This is what happens to forked coins with no real value, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-gold/#charts

It gets launched and a lot of people get free coins and then they start dumping it, which almost immediately crash the price. It will not add any real value to the crypto currency space, because it offers nothing new, so it just turns into another speculative commodity. The price average out at a much lower price, from where it started and the small community built around it, just buy and sell it, to keep it alive. ^lol^
