I actually use the stock comparison when explaining crypto to those that are completely out of the loop.
It's like holding an Apple stock (minus the dividends) but with many benefits like payments, proof of ownership and much more. You can't pay me for work with a fraction of a stock but you can with crypto. As staking slowly becomes a norm in the industry then we can even have the dividend part.
In the end, people are going to follow what they see others doing. Since most of the crypto world is treated like stock, it is only sensible for others who join the party to do the same.
It always boils down to this. They will use it as they see fit but the best part is that there are so many use-cases that you can't even predict the ways crypto will be used in 5 or 10 years.

It does simplify the explanation process, that is for sure. People understand stock so to them it makes sense. Of course, it also imprints the idea of speculation upon their minds too.
Alas, it simply how things are. We are likely to see two different types of major categories going forward. Much of crypto will be like stock, the rest (stablecoins) will be currency.
