Dogecoin(DOGE) or Shiba Inu(SHIB)?
Both of these coins are limited in it's long term use case. Dogecoin largely relies on the external marketing in order to stay relevant. Currently apart from being low cost digital payment, there is no use case for dogecoin.
ShibaINU on the other hand is an ERC-20 token that has plans to enter into DeFi and exchange market of Ethereum and it's available tokens. Compared to DOGE it has means to be more open towards the growth.
Conclusion
Dogecoin is good for those who are just in need of the low cost coin to tip each other in online communities or to reward in small amount to the other users or buy something in online shops.
ShibaInu is a good option if you wish to invest into the Ethereum based token and considering it's in limited supply compared to DOGE you appreciate the market value in near future.
For those who wish to invest into cryptocurrency which would stand strong post-regulation, I'd say other cryptos offer much better value than both of these coins.
