I like to think about stocks being the slowest method of making money when comparing it to other things (trading).
Bitcoin has different exchanges that are open all days of the week.
practically stock is also trading, you trade stocks the same way. you may be thinking about a different thing though.
because in stocks market you buy stocks from the market with the same way you buy anything else in trading (like trading gold, bitcoin, altcoins, Forex,...) and then sell it the same way on top to take some profit out.
in case of bitcoin I have to say it is being mostly treated like a "stock" in a sense that it is only being traded and not really used as a currency and that in the long run can not be good.
Currently it is considered as a "stock" or "commodity" which can be traded or is hold as investment, more than using as currency. Even if its used as payment processor, later it is converted into local currency. So mostly it is used for investing.

And stocks are being traded or invested on, stock/commodity is common term for both trading and investing. Yes, trading gives faster profits, but with higher risks. Whereas investing are also profitable sometimes might be slower but not always, with lower risks.
