Doge coin will be around for a very long time because it was built for the community in mind just like bitcoin and at the same time good for means of payment, many did called it shitcoin in the past but dogecoin proved them wrong with its faster and cheaper transaction rate
I know literally no one that uses Dogecoin, because it is still a shitcoin. The only thing that is holding Dogecoin together is that it is a meme coin. Otherwise it would have been gone a long time ago. And imagine someone paying in a store with Dogecoins. Do you not feel embarrassed while you can pay it with BTC or ETH ?
