Topic: How to create my own coin? (Read 89 times)

So back in 2009 bitcoin was created to move away from the standard economical system and create a more free world. I feel like crypto has sort of gotten away from it's roots there is big money in it now and it is full of con artists slick business types and major corporations.

I want to bring crypto back to it's roots where it is not about the money that can be made but the freedom. In this point in history I feel like we have a rare opportunity that has never been brought to us before we have the opportunity to share vast amounts of knowledge in an instant trade goods with the click of a button. Something that would have never even been thought of just fifty years ago.

Look at what has happened to the internet in the past 10 years people get an amazing tool and then it becomes perverted and it seemed to get full of more garbage, more corporations monopolizing the industry, selling our personal info spying on us etc. etc.

I DON'T WANT CRYPTO TO FALL TO THE SAME FATE!

I have an idea for a coin and a movement behind the coin, I know it is a really good idea and I will make it public when I figure out all the steps to get it going and can actually put it on paper in a clear and concise manner. SO in the meantime let me get to the point of my post.

I know basic html css javascript and php (copy paste on java and php) so I wouldn't know exactly where to begin in creating the coin. My first question would be where would I go to find blockchain developers? maybe a forum that I can go to that has developers for hire on it for example?

I was thinking of making an erc20 token since that seems like the most simple way to start but if I wanted to edit the coins basic functionality would I be able to do that as an erc20 token?
