Topic: Dogecoin is dead. Or is it actually undead? - page 3. (Read 386 times)

It's still pretty alive
Dogecoin is still used as a tipping coin.
They are a good option for transferring coins between exchanges in a low fee.  
As well I use them for betting on sportsbook, it's much easier to do maths with whole numbers.

I don't think Dogecoin will die. But it may take a long time. For example, ten years later, ten years later, Dogecoin may rise again! I think Dogecoin is a 10-year investment product.

But this is the whole point. After all, it all comes down to acceptance and application in the end, not development. For example, there's gold which kind of hasn't been "developed" for a few billion years in this part of the Universe, but does it take anything from its value? In fact, that only makes it more valuable as (millions of) years pass by. In case of this altcoin specifically, doges are still actively used in various online casinos as they are dirty cheap and dirty fast (if I can say so). Just the fact that Dogecoin is a very fast coin proves that it is still actively circulated since otherwise you would have to wait for hours till someone confirms your transaction, which is obviously not the case.

So, is there life after death?

Yes, there's no development to dogecoin but it's good as a way of paying to others when you want faster and cheaper transaction.

It has been abandoned so I doubt it that there will be developers who are willing to make it stay alive.

It was still a pump then and who managed to get a good profit. Now he just will not let him get out of his knees, many competitors who compete with each other, and the demand for it is almost zero. So I think it's worth to forget about this coin.

Recently, I saw a thread around here (it got trashed already) which was a copy-paste of an article about the early history of Dogecoin and it being mostly a joke. I don't really know if it turned into anything other than (just) a joke since then, but to be honest, doges earned me hefty profits back in the day, specifically when Bter was at its prime (it's gone now), if anyone remembers. It was likely the best coin for arbitrage a few years ago. But those times seem to be long gone by now too (though I can be wrong on this, of course). Today, its active development is halted as the last official release of the Dogecoin wallet was more than two years ago (it had been released in November, 2015). There are signs (or rather sighs) of life at Github but I'm highly dubious if they will bear any real fruit. So I basically have two questions.

The first question is simple and pretty straightforward. In short, is Dogecoin dead in terms of active development and support as in left for dead? And the second one is more intricate and complex. Does Dogecoin (or any other coin, for that matter) have to be actively developed and have a strong, solid team behind it to stay alive and be in circulation? Really, if there are no critical bugs, there may be just nothing to add apart from what has already been added.
