Exactly. Despite being abandoned in development and innovation, Dogecoin still has a large community behind it. There are quite a few people using and supporting it in every way. It's one of the oldest cryptocurrencies on the market with a proven track record of stability and reliability. Given that it's primarily useful for micropayments, it has obtained the love of many crypto enthusiasts (like John McAfee). The world's famous technologist has been known to support crypto in every way. This time, McAfee has chosen Dogecoin as one of the few cryptocurrencies that will go to the moon. While I disagree with him, I'd have say that there's a possibility that Dogecoin will grow massively in mainstream adoption. It'll never rise in price due to its inflationary design. If somehow developers would've tweaked the Dogecoin blockchain to make it scarcer, prices would've gained traction across the crypto market.
Nonetheless, with many famous people talking positively about Dogecoin (McAfee, Musk, Buterin) you could except this cryptocurrency to get the attention it deserves within the mainstream world. Even if it remains abandoned by its devs, it'll still be useful as a currency for daily transactions. Its fast confirmation times and low fees, allows people to use it for said purpose. After all, Dogecoin has more transaction activity in its blockchain than Bitcoin Cash itself. Just my opinion
