[bisq-network/compensation] BSQ rate for Cycle 22 is 1.21 USD per 1 BSQ (#782)

[MwithM]

I don't agree with that. Other than a sudden BSQ price rise, nothing has changed. The reasons to use this compensation rate model is the same as when it started.
The reason to use a large mean for contributions was to make contributors commit with the project on the long term. That helps to stabilize BSQ price too.
As long as we accept that there will be times where our contributions will be worth less at the time they're paid because the spot market price is lower than the 90 day average, that's ok. And that, the harsh part, was properly managed by contributors (see cycle [10](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/475), [9](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/449) and [8](https://github.com/bisq-network/compensation/issues/414#issuecomment-555596868). 
BSQ price has been, in my opinion, suprisignly stable until now though. I think that contributors need to understand that if this way to calculate the rate for contributions is kept, it will have be kept also if there is a sudden decrease in BSQ price.

Since the outliers [issue](https://github.com/bisq-network/proposals/issues/270) and the PR to address it, there's been no controversy on the price to use. I think that this announcement is doesn't have to be done at the review request submission deadline anymore and we could go back to the older way, which was announcing it at the beginning of the cycle.
