I think Bitcoin is not the Internet, I think Bitcoin is part of the Internet which is a merger between the public trust about bitcoin is money and the internet itself is intangible, but it can be used
but in fact that bitcoin can not be used if there is no internet. I think that bitcoin really needs internet. even if there is no internet then bitcoin will die
Without the prescence of interenet bitcoin is useless mate, many transactions will be failing specially the mining operations which carries or handles bitcoin processing. Internet is mainly the life of bitcoin, just like with human beings its by blood that works the body to get life. So Internet serves as the blood of bitcoin that strongly supports its life on the web networks.
