Around 2021, Dogecoin was a very interesting short term investment, yeah. Everyone was high off of AMC and GME in the stock market, so people were actively investing and day trading. Elon Musk was talking up Dogecoin, keeping in mind this is when he was still very popular in a positive way, and crypto in general was doing really well around that time. I'm not sure that it's wise to throw money into it now though. Crypto has become a very polarizing topic with people, with a vocal group of people that absolutely hate it (some of whom have no idea what they're talking about, but there are absolutely genuine reasons to dislike it as it's implemented today), and it has a somewhat uncertain future with government agencies reigning in on it (which certainly needs to happen for it to have a future too, but governments today seem more content with pulverizing the tech into the mud than see it grow into itself while keeping it fairly regulated.)
