Fun Fact Friday - Best Fun Fact Gets 10,000 Sats

Over the last few months, I’ve noticed a trend forming among public LN channels and nodes.

[The number of nodes](https://amboss.space/stats?params=eyJtZXRyaWMiOiJhY3RpdmVfbm9kZXMiLCJjYXRlZ29yeSI6ImFsbFRpbWVNZXRyaWNzIn0%3D) has been slowly growing without almost any reversals, while [the number of public channels](https://amboss.space/stats?params=eyJtZXRyaWMiOiJjaGFubmVscyIsImNhdGVnb3J5IjoiYWxsVGltZU1ldHJpY3MifQ%3D%3D) has been doing the opposite.

The average channel size is getting larger as a result, with the public average now over 7,000,000 sats.

A few questions…

- Who are the new node operators that are relentlessly joining the network regardless of price action and lightning hype?
- Does this concern you to see channels being closed faster than they are being opened?
- Do you expect large nodes to have more or fewer channels over time? For context, WoS has over 2,000 channels today
