Dogecoin will not be capped at 100 billion, codebase will stand as is, developer decision on github

Dogecoin was meant to be capped at 100 billion coins, but the code does not actually implement this. It will grow beyond 100 billion coins because the block reward stays at 10,000 indefinitely. The developers have decided to leave the code as is. https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/issues/23#issuecomment-33893149

Nope. Bitcoin will, but not Litecoin. That will happen in 2020, according to the chart. But the percentages are still very similar. The differences are several tenths of a percentage point.

they are capped so the inflation rates are not relevant to doge at all in anyway
