nice read, i like your analogy.

Always check the 24 hour trading volume.  It's so low.  This means there is very low activity and have low amount of coin holders.  Suspicious.

it has some difficulty if you're coding it on your own. but there are non-developer websites that create it for you for free of charge.

this is one of many free erc-20 token creation sites.

good luck.
