The statistics are interesting.  It looks like having the US economy
collapse would result in a lot of ipv4 addresses freed up which would
delay the need for ipv6.  OTOH, having less ipv4 addresses left means
they are worth more and you could make a profit by buying them up and
reselling them for a premium:
