Well there is a cap on how much will exist so with even a small amount of additional demand for it each year it should continue to go up in value. Thats not to say the value can't go up so much that it would take approximately forever to get back there once it crashed.

I am not sure why you think the demand should increase year over year. Also, at some point people are not going to run full nodes and it just dies.
