Building would be great.  I'm doing my part but...

The number of nodes and channels are at three year lows and falling steadily.  Capacity is still okay.  This shows consolidation among fewer and larger nodes who seem to channel more with each other than with smaller nodes.

It's a market.  I get it.  It's plenty diversified and decentralized for my comfort.... for now.  Like many, I hope my node earns a useful spot among the survivors enough to support the network and at least it's own expenses.
