I've created a thread explaining how: How to create your own altcoin (v0.20.1)
Bitcoin source code is opened so you can use its source code to create your own cryptocurrency. In history, hundreds of altcoins were created as Bitcoin forks.
Because those coins were created with financial incentives for their owners so after months and years, they end with failures. You can not expect success from developers who simply steal other projects' source codes and don't have capability to develop their own source codes.

Those projects fail at their beginnings.
