I could be WAY wrong but I feel part of the reason Dogecoin price is down is due to coin HOLDERS such as yourself. Imagine if ALL Dogecoin was being held...the price would PLUMMET. Instead of spending (NOT SELLING) Dogecoin on physical goods or services, people just hold their coins and watch the price drop. If Dogecoin was being USED more (and not just exchange sell/trade offs either) then there would be a LOT more life in Dogecoin.
There are DOZENS of online stores/services that take Dogecoin for payment.

If YOU (ANYONE HOLDING DOGECOIN) do not spend your Dogecoin, (even just a little) YOU are helping to bring the price down.

Why should the value go up right now? Most Dogecoin fanboys/girls just want to HOLD their Dogecoin in hopes of HITTING it big time. Jeesh
People HOLD or CASH out. What good does that do for the Dogecoin community? NOTHING. Gotta CIRCULATE the currency for ANY value to be seen by others.


SPEND THAT DOGECOIN.

ps-I agree about needing to cap the coin but WE as miners/buyers of Dogecoin can only suggest/recommend that option to the Devs
