When someone make an art a "storage of financial value" he doesn't devalue art to the level of money or other financial surrogate, he just show his own inability to understand the purpose of art.
At the same time you could observe "art" that is created for the sole purpose of storing financial value like that Banksy daub or Malevich "paintings". But that things have no any relations to the real art.
So your analogy of art and crypto is perfectly valid. You could account any technology as kind of art. None of them have a purpose of storing someone's financial value.
