I was looking into creating my own crypto currency. After a few visits to some tech sites and GitHub, I found that it doesn’t appear to be a difficult task nor, will it take too long to build since the blockchain is open source and the code is readily available. What I found was that with good C++ coding skills you could have your own crypto currency – or coin in as little as 30 minutes. I was getting excited about the prospect of having my own coin until other important factors started sinking in on what it would really take.
Getting miners on board via marketing to this niche could be a hard to get a good adoption rate especially when first starting out and not many transactions are occurring with your coin. On the other side of this is the marketing to the coin users and building a community around the coin. Facilitating user’s adoption rate via marketing while, simultaneously building trust for your alt coin would be an ongoing and full time business. I think that this would require significant funds for growth and business operations. Additionally, coding for updates, potential bug fixes, security and more would also be required. Oh yeah, your coin will need a wallet, got to build this, right? I am not sure if I missed anything, please add if I did!
What are your thoughts about building your own bitcoin, would you consider it?

I do understand the theory of it, that makes sense. It is an online currency, great. What confuses me is where does it come from. Money has to come from somewhere right?
So I get that it is an online currency, I get that it can be cashed out into money... but mining it? I am completely lost. I just don't understand Cryptocurrency and it makes me feel stupid. I would never create my own crypto currency, how can I when I can't even understand it. I do understand the theory of it, that makes sense. It is an online currency, great.
