For a while, I've had the idea of creating my own cryptocurrencies (specifically, tokens on existing networks, since it's easier to do this than create coins with their own blockchains). Since there are tens of thousands of coins and tokens in existence, it really can't be that hard to create a new cryptocurrency (or at least piggyback off an existing network), right?

To this end, I performed a search (via Presearch) for guides on how to go about creating one's own cryptocurrency. Here's what I found:

• Binance Academy

• Data-Driven Investor

• A Beginner's Guide on SoFi

• Coin Review: Is It Possible to Create Your Own Cryptocurrency for Free?

• Hackernoon: How to Create Your Own Cryptocurrency (A Beginners Guide)

• Investopedia: How to Make a Cryptocurrency

• Udemy: Create Your Own Cryptocurrency Just Like Bitcoin or Litecoin (will cost money)

• Lifehacker: How to Create Your Own Cryptocurrency

• Currency.com: How to create a cryptocurrency (can you really do it at home?)

• Hive Blog: How to Create Wrapped Hive Engine Tokens (step-by-step)

• Some Facts on Creating Our Own Token on Hive Engine, by bala on Pub0x

I'm sure that there are more articles and tutorials available, but I think that these should be a good starting point. Depending on how much development I get done this weekend, I might make a start on making a couple of tokens and see how that goes.
