Dogecoin is an inflationary coin. While it may have a stable price and be very useful in micro-transaction, it is unlikely to attract speculative investors. So the price is not likely to take off.
That can be a good problem for DogeCoin. This coin can be packaged as a coin just to have some fun and can work in the long run. The fact that there are no updates and activities related to this coin can tell us that there is no good community built behind this coin and that is something we don't like. Having a community backing and working for any coin counts a lot. I am hoping that soon developers of this coin would be seriously working to make it another serious digital currency that can stand and compete with the rest.
