I proudly can say my crypto journey stated with Bitcoion as well as dogecoin using free faucets . Dogecoin is not having active development team or any promising project its just a hype creating or pushing coin value so don't be trap on that . I would better suggest on Defi Projects which will creat4e wealth with strong concepts.
dont be wrong with dogecoin , it could be alternative portofolio when we stuck with our research. many times dogecoin show its power by multiple rising. defi projects only helped by its hype, many investors thinking if defi coins was good projects. meanwhile outside defi we still find good project or maybe hidden gem.
