"Ethereum is a better option, especially for the long term. Why?
Ethereum is a coin with real utility: DeFi, NFTs, Layer-2 scaling, and now the Fusaka upgrade (which has already happened in December 2025) is making the network faster and cheaper.
Predictions: In 2026, ETH could reach $4,000 to $6,000 or even higher (some experts are saying up to $10,000) if the market bounces back and ETF inflows continue.
There is high institutional interest, with money flowing into ETFs.
On the other hand, Dogecoin: It is a meme coin, mostly running on hype and Elon Musk's tweets. Currently, there is no major catalyst, and ETF inflows are also low.
Predictions: In 2026, it could reach $0.20 to $0.50 if a big pump comes, but it is very volatile and could easily drop to $0.10.
In the short term, it might pump 50-100%, but in the long term, it is less stable than ETH."$ETH
