But last year wan't successful for this coin it failed to achieve this new level as you are 100% sure about this. Now we have been entered into new year so if the whole ecosystem will move in positive than DOGE will perform really nice.
Last year is obviously a difficult year for all.
So, it is very normal to see Dogecoin faced with its own difficulties.
Fortunately, at least Dogecoin has survived well over the last year, and current stood at 6x satoshis, which is actually not a too low price.
