Shiba Inu-faced darling of the 2021 memecoin fever, Dogecoin (DOGE), has been shivering in the present crypto winter. Originally a symbol of retail investor excitement, DOGE has dropped over 70% from its sky-high peak, leaving its future clouded in doubt.<\/span> While the heavyweight champion of the crypto scene, Bitcoin, steals headlines with its latest wobble, memecoins like DOGE<\/a> have suffered greatly.<\/span> Unlike the split expert views on Bitcoin, DOGE is clearly pessimistic.
