I've been hearing that those speculators were going to get out of control and the IPv4 price was going to skyrocket for 10+ years.

Yet I can still rent a VPS with IPv4 for $12/year from a wide variety of providers.

Competition is good.

You can, but a significant portion of that money is going toward paying off that IP.

"Skyrocket" is wrong but the market cap of IPv4 addresses is quite high.
