two female ostriches are walking down beach
one looks behind & says "don't look now, but to males are following us"
other says, "let's walk faster," so they do
first looks behind and says "they are catching up!"
so they break into a trot
first looks behind and says "they are still catching up!"
so they start running full tilt
first looks behind and says "they are catching up even more quickly!"
they both slam on the brakes and stick their heads in the sand
a minute later the two males arrive
the males look around and say "where did they go?"

and, if you believe this, then it's safe to believe that ipv4 address
space has, and will continue to have, no value.
