Where did you get this from? This is basically what's still happening, only that it's now completely automatic, and worldwide, but it's still a shared ledger with this (and some extra) information in it ;D

Yep :D You just described how peer to peer works... Somewhat. There are a lot of other things going on like encryption and everything. Also, that's not really peer to peer, you need a mailman that can check the mail if he wants to!  ;)
