Dear seniors:
I am a non-technical person, I am from China and I would like to know how much does it cost to develop a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin?

I successfully issued 2 altcoins in 2017-18, one of which raised 953 Bitcoins privately. However, due to China's policies, all of them were returned to the users.
One of them was listed on a Chinese exchange. This exchange was closed after running for 4 months, and some money was made.
You are contradicting yourself, because first you present yourself as a person who does not have the technical knowledge to carry out such a project - and then you claim that 5-6 years ago you created even 2 altcoins, which by all accounts were successful in the sense that you managed to collect almost 1000 BTC.
I personally think it can be done and make money
I have no doubt that money can be made, because the world is full of naive people who will buy false promises and completely meaningless cryptocurrencies, hoping that $1 investment will turn into $1000. I would call it a simple deception, and also a violation of the law, considering that the trading and mining of cryptocurrencies is prohibited in China. Not only are you putting yourself in danger, but also all others who would participate in such a project in any way.
