Dogecoin has been my favorite alt coin for quite a long time. It serves as a good cryptocurrency for tipping others, as well as being a fun and inexpensive medium of exchange.
However, I'm worried what might happen to Dogecoin in the future, since it has been quite some time that no new version of the QT wallet has been mentioned, neither some innovation to keep it going for the long term.
It would become ideal for Dogecoin to add SegWit to its code, and gain traction if it gains acceptance from the miners. Then, if it manages to become the first cryptocurrency to accept the scalable solution, it could rise in popularity once more (not to mention that transaction will be near instantaneous).
Nevertheless, Dogecoin is a great cryptocurrency being inexpensive and relatively stable, making it a great way to tip others or send micropayments faster than BTC at a fraction of the cost.
Looking forward to your opinion.
I agree with you, dogecoin is great way tip others and send micropayments. What happen now with dogecoin is caused by the dogecoin users is stop or decrease spend their coin or not use dogecoin for transactions anymore and (or) they are lazy to trade it on exchanger because the price looks dead (although the volume is still big).
Birth mass of many altcoins may be another factor reduced interest of this coin. Peoples start using some altcoins that good to trade with good fluctuations, good price, and new technology. However, dogecoin will not be die in short time. Many peoples still hold it and beleive it will have a good future.
