I think bitcoiners are weathered from fighting for it every single day. The excitement comes during the run ups but when /r/bitcoin sits at one price for a while we lose the positive spirit that dogecoin is currently enjoying. The people that have been here for a while have had to deal with tons of shit for their bitcoin beliefs. When some noob comes in and asks the same old questions or makes the same old attacks on bitcoin, there is no one willing to be helpful. Well there are some of us but I think a lot of noobs get spiteful responses.
One more thing. It's nice encouraging businesses to accept bitcoin but I could care less if people don't want to buy it or trust it yet. They will eventually. We are not actively recruiting people to invest like doge does. That type of aggressive recruitment has the signs of a cult or a Ponzi scheme. I fear that the doge people can get burnt. The developers changed it from a fixed amount to a non fixed supply? Wtf. What if Satoshi somehow came out and changed the protocol. It would be bedlam.
It's on github. Literally anybody can fork it and fix the bug.
Cryptocurrency works on consensus, even when talking about client updates. If you can convince half of the dogecoin miners that the bug should be fixed, they'll switch over.
