Data a natural resource

Data has become the new goldmine over past years and only a select few have been able to cash in on it until recently.
Steemit has provided a number of ways that you, as the creator of this natural resource can cash in on too. Seeing how many new steemians enter the community makes me feel good. I believe in steemit. Data is information, information is knowledge and knowledge is power so lets all take the power back. Just some random thoughts i was having . if anyone has other thoughts or opinions please share your thoughts.
