You do realize just how many IPv6 addresses there are? The good old days of randomly scanning the interwebs in the hopes of finding an IP are gone, at least, for IPv6.
The minimum assignment form RIPE/ARIN etc to an ISP is a /32. Meaning Verizon on it's own has at least the same number of /64's as the entire IPv4 internet has IPs..
That's 4,294,967,296 /64's.
A single /64 is 4 billion times the entire IPv4 address space.
