Those are definitely different things. Owning a GameStop stock gives you a small ownership and right to their profits (in form of dividends) in real money.

Owning a cryptocurrency means nothing if you can't actually use it as a currency in real world.

Owning a cryptocurrency gives you the right to exchange it for real money later -- and usually way more money! Speculation is fun, and profitable!
