That's what cryptocurrency was made for. Just copy-paste another project, pre-mine a fuck ton of tokens and then shill your bags to idiots on online forums

So would one just write "the asset is designed to be pegged to the price of e-thot bath water" in the white paper and that should be enough to create demand among brainlets?

Nah, you gotta market it as "the next big thing". ETH 2.0, shit like that. Use a bunch of big words in your whitepaper that people don't understand like "masternodes", "staking", "decentralized finance" and the like and then just go all-in on marketing your project to plebs.

>I was barely getting by mostly doing magician gigs at kids parties, corporate events etc. One evening after a 2-3 day bender I woke up and barely remembered that in my drunken frenzy I had started a shitcoin! Luckily I had picked up a gay designer at a local "club" and we did so much blow I forced him to turn out a logo. Strap in bois, we going big!
