Which early internet crash event are you referring to?

The dot-com bubble that crashed circa 2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble

I'm not convinced that crypto is like the dot-com bubble. With the early web, its use cases were fairly clear and immediate. With crypto, the use cases remain unclear and speculative even after 13 years of hype and fanfare.

I definitely wouldn't have thought to call the 00's "early internet" but that's maybe just me :)

It was early web anyway. The first web browser was released in 1993, and the first version of Netscape was released in 1994.
