If Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are supposed to be an alternative form of currency then why do people treat it like a stock and sell it for cash? Isn’t it acting more like an asset than it’s own currency?

Basically the title. Im 100% behind the idea of getting rid of govt backed currency but the way I see bitcoin is more akin to buying stocks and than a whole new form of currency. Is there a bigger picture Im missing? Thanks !
