Would bitcoin be able to recover? Are we safe since 80% of bitcoin has already been mined?

I remember it happened once in 2011 (https://www.themarysue.com/price-bitcoin-falls-below-mining/amp/).

In my own opinion, bitcoins price will never drop the cost below the mining price because people will stop mining in that situation and the transactions will be slower.
