It has increased wonderfully and I do like it, however we should realize that it is so far away from the 8+ dollars it once was, and there is a long way to go there. I assume that it could break that in the very long term if we have another bull, it is like 2x to go and many altcoins can easily do that given enough hype, but an old coin getting a brand new hype is usually not a common thing, which is why I do not think that it could do that anytime soon.

Definitely maybe on the next bull run instead of this one it could reach those levels, even without hype having two bull runs increase your price will give you a huge return but that means it will take a few years for it to get there. I would say that the best case would be to look for other coins that could eventually give a return that makes sense in the short term instead of looking at coins like Tezos.
