Hmmm; a value investor.
Doge to me has some extremely toxic people behind it; so toxic in fact, they chased away early foundation members and the creator Jackson Palmer as well.
Check these asshats out:

http://www.dailydot.com/business/moolah-dogecoin-alex-green/These were recently brought up again with the Moolah takeover of Mintpal and their subsequent suckiness. I was really surprised since they've done their best to hide this stuff (for example, the "audit results" have been scrubbed from not only the Moolah blog, but Coindesk as well).
Nobody is "behind" it, it is decentralized the same way as bitcoin. Maybe some people seek to represent it, and if they don't do a good job I assure you there is no community that will handle it better that dogecoin.
Furthermore, instead of nitpicking a few questionable apples why not look at the community as a whole. Go on the dogecoin reddit page right now and soak in the positive vibes that are virtually always there. In bitcoin's reddit, for example, there's far more negativity and cold demeanors there-- and if there's anything I've learned in nearly a decade of sales it's that good vibes, and feeling good SELLS, it's like having gold in your pocket that everyone wants and wants to be around. On the otherhand, being negative or being a downer significantly hurts ones ability to sell and people generally don't want to be around that (as it generally takes value rather than gives value)
And finally, yes I am a value investor, you seem to have skimmed over the significant points and nit-picked weaknesses. Nothing and nobody is perfect, and nothing and nobody will ever be.
