As crypto generally becomes more and more prevalent in the public eye (and more user-friendly) I believe that the DOGE coin "brand" can only benefit. While the developers seem to have abandoned the coin in the past few months, they're sitting on a branding asset with a lot of future potentials. Sure the last commit was 2017...life happens and this isn't really THAT long of a time - maybe they're planning a comeback or re-branding? Gathering investors? Most new 'altcoins' I'm sure would kill for an established userbase like DOGE already has.
