Sounds like you're looking at the wrong metrics. Dogecoin had 0 commits to its main repository in 2017. Compare that to 3,277 commits to Bitcoin Core alone. Bitcoin has scaling issues that developers are addressing with second layer networks because tons of people are using Bitcoin. Dogecoin doesn't because it has so few users that the demand for block space is well below the available supply.

The story those numbers tell me is that Dogecoin is already working well enough that it didn't need updating. Whereas Bitcoin developers are scrabbling hard to fix the sinking ship.

I don't think commit numbers alone tell you the full story either (e.g. FLAC going years between releases, not because it's abandoned but because it's basically done). The 1.14-dev branch seems active enough anyway: https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/tree/1.14-dev

How is the “new world currency” being updated ~10 times a day reassuring at all? All it takes is one serious bug to wipe out $240bn of wealth.
