If Bitcoin doesn't go "to da moon" then it has no utility and the speculators will dump it down to zero. So no, the quote is meaningless to me.

Miners need to sell at above their cost to justify their operation.

No, some (maybe most) small miners don't have to sell. I didn't sell (for fiat) a single btc that I mined.

I guess most of bitcoin is not mined by small miners anymore, and I think the big miners look for profit, that can be only achieved if they sell their coins.

They are already sold on contract.  When difficulty rises to the point where they are unprofitable the contracted deliveries will cease,and the buyers will be forced onto the exchanges.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.  Give a man a Poisson distribution and he eats at random times independent of one another, at a constant known rate.

One does not simply flush out the "To the moon" crowd. One does however keep educating the uninitiated and building the infrastructure.
