Hope you are not aware of the fact that the devs does not control the price of any commodity in the market . Investors with real money in their hands make the difference and for that to happen you need to have a crypto currency that is unique than the rest to create a demtand and i highly doubt ETH can do that, the price rallied a lot when the token business was in full swing and now we all know that majority of them were fake and some died off and then we had some projects where they shifted to their own chain. So to see a valuation like we had in the past is highly unlikely and if the price reaches its all time high then i would say it is a win situation for all the investors .
