This is the kind of thing that stops working once people know about it. I expect the waitlist to grow out of control if it hasn't already.

Also, I hope IPv4 addresses are worth almost nothing five years from now.

I don't see a scenario where this is the case except if we assume 5G take over of the Internet?

The idea is higher IPv4 prices -> faster IPv6 adoption -> ~90% IPv6 adoption -> IPv4 prices go down.

I think IPv4 pricing going up will be the financial incentive for IPv6 adoption, however, I think IPv4 will hold their value forever and continue to go up in value in the same way new TLDs didn't erode the value of .com.
