Dogecoin is managing to maintain a position in the market that many currencies have not been able to maintain for long. Part of this is probably due to the active community, and Dogecoin's popularity.
True that ~V~
When I first started with cryto-currencies the only coins I knew about or heard anything about was bitcoin and dogecoin. It was only when I started to research these two coins that I started to find out more about other altcoins that exist. I agree that there is an active community around dogecoin and I don't think these guys would sit back and see something they admire just die out. In my honest opinion I don't think this will happen anytime soon. Thanks for your feedback ~V~
