Hey there, great to see interest in innovative use cases for Bitcoin and blockchain technology! It's definitely possible to create a network where people own and sell their own generated data. There are already some projects out there exploring this idea and utilizing blockchain technology for secure storage and transfer of personal data such as Datum, Ocean Protocol, IOTA Data Marketplace.

Regarding data control by individuals, smart contracts executed on the Bitcoin Lightning Network could allow individuals to maintain full control over the use of their personal information while allowing them

Thank you for the information and the project recommendations! I'll definitely take a look at Datum, Ocean Protocol, and IOTA Data Marketplace.

I'm curious about your thoughts on whether such a network would require individuals to even use their "own" devices or if it would be possible to use manufactured devices from third parties. Do you think it would be feasible to create a system where individuals could still maintain ownership of their data even if they are using third-party devices? Or would it be necessary for individuals to use their own devices in order to maintain control over their data?

Thanks again for your insights and expertise!

A key concept for achieving this is known as "data sovereignty," which refers to the ability of individuals or entities to control the use and access of their own personal data, even if it's being used on third-party or cloud-based systems.

In terms of how feasible a fully-realized data
