I originally thought this; but ultimately have to disagree.
Several problems:
1. "the internet" is a pretty nebulous term. bitcoin certainly requires computer networks, which generally require tcp/ip; but bitcoin could technically function on a darknet, which could arguably be "not the internet".
2. the internet relies on the power grid, which itself relies on copper wire; which essentially, and eventually, says, by your logic, that the internet is a subset of the things disrupted by copper mining.
now i actually agree that in the end the internet is a bigger disruptor; but i don't think your proof holds.
