Projects need to have real products and real usecases in order to be accepted and grow well on the market. Dogecoin only have the latter one, usecases but even about usecases, Matic has more than Dogecoin. Currently, Matic is better and in the future it will be better.

The two types of Altcoins, an investor's viewDOGE achieved SoV because of Lindy Effect. It's listed on nearly all exchanges, it's supported by most wallets, it has a liquid market.
Note I didn't say it has cutting edge technology, scaleability, fancy smart contracts, governance, or has solved sharding. I point this out to mock the common thought train that you need innovation and cutting edge tech to build value in your coin. These are monetary instruments, they build value with economic network effects.
