It will burst when CCP fixes sov. Then people will reactivate accounts and liquidate their investment plex for isk to spend. Plex price will keep rising until the number of online users (not active accounts) starts to increase again.

That would suggest that the market is inflated to the point where new players can't properly fund themselves with their ingame activities, and in turn offers little incentive for them to stick around. In my experience, this has not been the case.
Of course you don't have to. In game ways to make ISK haven't changed, plex is just a shortcut option.
Cost of subscription via plex is another matter. But I don't see why CCP would want to make that easier.

Yes, entirely up to you. If you want to mission, faction warfare, wormhole, trade, whatever for isk then you are welcome to. If you choose not to spend your time earning isk but prefer to just sell a plex for spending isk then you can do that too. No pressure either way - just a question of how much time vs isk you have to spend.

OK. The increased demand you correctly speak of is not based on any fundamental change in plex usage. It is not based on inflation because the economy actually deflated over the last year. It is not, to any meaningful extent, based on the plex for [service] features CCP offers. The fanfest economy presentation made this clear.
The increased demand is driven by speculation. This is not 'real' demand. There was similar demand for tulips once upon a time. And dot com shares.
I believe that plex will eventually reach well over a billion. It might even reach it in the current surge. But I doubt it will be sustained in the current surge because the demand is not based on a fundamental increase in the value of a plex.
