If you are always on, a dynamic address essentially becomes a static address

No. The DHCP server gives you a lease for an amount of time (12 or 24 hours in general). A new IP request is made at the end of the lease even if your computer is always on. With that said, most of the time the server will give you the same address time after time if you don't change your network card or your OS.
