Far too many people don't realise this. The internet only isn't P2P because of market economies of scale - like how all the bitcoins are (were) in Binance. The underlying tech is still P2P.

There is going to be a problem with everyone trying to register an address block. The internet addressing scheme isn't designed for many tiny networks and you'd have to use sub-blocks of a big block, but then someone owns the big block and gets held liable for the use of the whole block and therefore for the whole P2P system.
