Steem has 0 transaction fees and confirms in under 3 seconds. Bitshares is just as fast. Even Ethereum is much faster than Doge. So Doge isn't the fastest, it's not the cheapest... What does it have going for it? It's a meme that had its 15 minutes of fame long ago. It's hard for one particular meme to stay relevant when there's new memes coming out every day. I suggest you reevaluate your dogecoin holdings. Wish you the best, and I really do hope Doge works out for you anyways.
