Miners have to pay for electricity and hardware. I doubt they're doing that with Dogecoins.

Doge had been the most profitable altcoin to mine several times in the past couple months.
You will be hard pressed to find any serious miner who is keeping mined Doge instead of converting them to BTC or fiat. Serious mining farms pay for their electricity, thus they will not have amortized their GPUs solely from Doge.

Sure, if you are a gamer with "pre-paid" graphics card AND "free" electricity, you may elect to keep your mined Doge.
