There will be no abrupt end. Just the price per IP will slowly grow, and the usefulness of this IP will slowly fade.
There's no panic. The trick with IPv6 deployment is predicting two years in advance the moment will you need IPv6 "tomorrow" - because for a lot of orgs that's how long it takes.
I'll repost a link from the recent NANOG meeting here about the folks seriously discussing their plans of going IPv6-only:

I thoroughly enjoyed the moment when one networking pro (who dealt with IPv6 20 years ago and not since) was telling me he won't have IPv6 till he retires, realized he had his on his LTE connection and was using it for quite some time already! :-)
I repeat myself from another post:
One out of five users hitting google.com and facebook.com in the US today does so over IPv6.
