+
+## TL;DR
+
+IPv6 allows you to deploy the same things, just with less money.
+And right now it get's even crazy with [up to 50%
+discount](https://swiss-crowdfunder.com/campaigns/black-ipv6-friday?locale=en)
+on even the already very affordable IPv6 only offers.
+*Valid only until 2019-11-29*.
+
+## The Black IPv6 Friday
+
+So you have probably heard about the
+Black Friday, haven you?
+We want to take this to the next level with the
+**Black IPv6 Friday**, which might be **the biggest discount on IPv6
+only services in history**!
+
+## IP... what?
+
+You might have heard some things about
+[IPv6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6) already, but what you might
+not know yet is that you can actually save money by using
+IPv6. Significantly. But let's first have a short look what IPv6
+actually is.
+
+## The IPv6 and IPv4 Internet
+
+IPv4 is the "old", some people even call it "legacy", Internet. It has
+been in use for a while, however its
+[shortage of addresses](https://ipv4.potaroo.net/)
+[has become a real
+problem](/u/blog/when-does-ripe-run-out-of-ipv4-addresses/). Whenever
+there is a shortage, prices jump up steeply and, in the end, the
+end customer has to pay that price.
+
+To fix this problem, the successor IPv6 was designed with a huge
+amount of addresses. Not an infinite number, but for everything that
+we want to do in our lifetime, we could call it "almost infinite".
+
+For many years, vendors and providers were only slowly adapting
+IPv6. However with the imminent IPv4 exhaustion in 2019, the game
+changed and IPv6 has become a hot topic everywhere.
+
+## How you save money by using IPv6
+
+And this brings us to how you can save money with IPv6: instead of
+renting IPv4 addresses at home, in the office or at your cloud
+provider, you can now rely on IPv6 only. There also exists support to
+enable IPv6 only services to the IPv4 Internet - and that is even for
+free.
+
+## The biggest IPv6 bargain
+
+So with all of this, one should probably be inclined to go with
+IPv6. However, we just wanted to make it even easier for you to get
+started and offer **up to 50% discount** on the regular offers. This
+deal is available on the [crowdfunding campaign on
+Swiss-Crowdfunder.com](https://swiss-crowdfunder.com/campaigns/black-ipv6-friday?locale=en).
+But beware: it only gets real if the goal of 20'000 CHF is reached -
+otherwise there will be a 100% refund.
