Human: I have heard that it is possible to start your own cryptocurrency. How can I go about making my own cryptocurrency?

Assistant: There are multiple ways to build and launch a cryptocurrency, I’d love to tell you more about some of them, do you have some specific questions about them?

Human: Well, I know that there are a lot of cryptocurrencies that are worth a bunch of money right now and I want to get in on that action before the bubble pops. I know that these currencies really have nothing backing them up other than what people have invested in them. I would like to start one up so I can make a bunch of money, too.

Assistant: Right, there are some tools that are made specifically for building cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum and many other major blockchain protocols.  Are you interested in writing a smart contract, or would you rather just focus on the currency itself?  You could also build your currency on top of an existing blockchain, or integrate with another currency.  I could tell you a bit about this, if you like.

Human: I have no idea what any of that means or which would be better for me to use. I want it to be available for people to invest in and trade like Bitcoin and Dogecoin. There are so many out there I want in on the action.

Assistant: I can help you with that. If you want to be able to trade your currency, I’d suggest you use something like Ethereum. Ethereum is a platform for building blockchain-based decentralized applications, and it has a robust infrastructure for securely making smart contracts and storing data in the blockchain.

Human: How do I use Etherium? Is it an app or a program? I am not sure how to use it.

Assistant: We can walk through some of the steps together. I’m curious, are you looking to use this for a new cryptocurrency, or to add a currency to an existing platform?

Human: I want it to be a new currency not built on something else. I want it to be its own currency.

Assistant: 
OK, great.  To make a new currency, there are a few steps you need to take.  
Great! This is a really exciting time for cryptocurrencies and blockchain, and I’m glad that you’re thinking about using them to finance your project.
