Do you know what happens to hydrogen when the temp drops below 14K?

Yeah. Metal.

Metallic hydrogen may also make up parts of Jupiter's core.

Metallic or solid? Those are two different things, and depending on the answer, i will be going down a knowledge rabbit hole

Metals are crystal lattices with delocalized electrons.
