Thanks for the answer.

if you change a node to have different rules. only nodes that agree with YOUR rules will accept them

Of course, so, I can create my Bitcoin cash in my own network. And If I can sell it in a fake exchange, to people that think my Bitcoins are real, they will have fake Bitcoins. There are not going to be useful, but there will be lots of fake Bitcoins. It is a possibility of fraud.

Im speculating, but I cant understand how can we trust in Bitcoin if this possibility exists. I mean, there is not a way to validate a real Bitcoin before we buy it?

I don't totally understand your answer, sorry.

 I think that you are talking about the "official" nodes of Bitcoin, when you say that my blocks will be rejected. But if there are other nodes on another network, not on official Bitcoin network, they will be rejected too? I mean, those rules that reject Bitcoin blocks, will reject my blocks on another parallel network?

Thanks franky1

Hi,

Maybe I have stupid ideas, but I need your help to understand better Bitcoin.

I newbie in Bitcoin and I was thinking about cloning github repo, modify code and make PoW easier, to create new fake Bitcoins. I was not thinking about existing Bitcoin network, I was thinking about creating another parallel network that mining Bitcoin is easier. And then exchange Bitcoin to create confusion and maybe inflation.

Is that possible? Why is/isn't possible? I think that I have not all Bitcoin topics clear, so I will appreciate your help.

Thanks
