I really don't think "we're back" since really nothing has changed in the last several months. We're still needing adoption and real-use cases for the average person. Until then it's still a highly speculative currency that may or may not succeed. Just because the price has risen or dropped doesn't really mean that the coin has left or come back. If it's being traded as the price goes down, it's still technically being bought and sold and used and therefore is not dead.
