We had this discussion even before there *was* a transfer market. IPs
WILL get transferred, money WILL be paid. The only thing that RIPE NCC
did was to make it possible to document these transfers in the
database. Before that there was chaos. There is practically NOTHING
the NCC can do about the transfers happening. We had this discussions
long ago. We saw it coming. People ignored IPv6. This is the result.

I'm so tired talking about this. IPv4 is over and done and because
people ignored this for a decade we're forced to fight against other
people trying to make money from the last pool that was explicitly
created to allow newcomes to enter a market that ONLY exists because
others decided they did not want to invest into IPv6.
