Who would benefit from hoarding?

Hoarding seems like economic "dumping", there are rules and policies around
it, but it has never really occured because the economics are wrong. The
market ensures dumping does not occur.

Or like the FUD about walmart driving local business out and then jacking
up prices after competition is gone, its just fud. People made a big noise
about it 20 years ago, not any more.

I think the market is only interestes in transactions. Ipv4 addresses are
like most cars, they depreciate rapidly so hoarding is not a real thing.

And, with google fiber at 77% ipv6 and vzw over 25%, i must say i would no
hoard ipv4.

But, my ask is, lets not assume hoarding or threats to ipv4 by bad actors
unless there is a real case that applies.

Afaik, arin brought transfers in to increase efficiency
