The problem is you need like two weeks of mining for decreased mining count to adjust the difficulty.

But then the floor just drops to a lower price.

difficulty retarget can adjust down too. if there's not enough mining it'll make it weaker. the only real fear is if everyone stops mining before the retarget so there isn't enough hash power to mine blocks to ever get there, and that's where they get the fear of a literal chain death spiral.

Which is really dumb. It's not like thousands of bitcoin-network participants, developers, miners, exchanges, users, holder, would sit there and be like "welp, guess that's it, pack up up."

If the hash-rate would drop so significantly below difficulty so that the remaining miners would have to mine, idk, 1 year at a loss, we'd hard-fork, consolidating a few things at once, like a new mining algo, cleanly introducing some features etc.

It's ultimately true that less people will mine as the value goes down.

Demand is the basis of price, if no one is buying no one is mining and since bitcoin is shown to be weak i think most mining is finished.
