-While issuance of additional assets on Qortal can be accomplished by a single account simply issuing a certain ISSUE ASSET transaction, QORT is not created in this fashion. Instead, QORT is created by consensus, and was issued at Genesis with 0 QORT on the chain, and minted from there by the Qortal Community of MINTERS.
