demonetize IPv4 addresses and the problem will solve itself.

Do you have some magic wand that can make that happen?  It would seem the 
opposite is happening -- the price for IPv4 addresses is climbing, with rumors 
of some folks trying to corner the market. This is, of course, unsurprising 
given Economics 101 and the laws of supply and demand. Should make for 
interesting times ahead for those organizations that continue to demand IPv4 
addresses.

there is financial inertia on the side of retaining v4 only stack networks.

My suspicion (hope?) is that the increased price of IPv4 (and operational 
challenges dealing with GGNAT) will encourage folks to take IPv6 more seriously.
