My vision for how it should be is more like payments. I give the company / institution my card details, and they transact against it to get what they need. This transaction is facilitated by a clever broker company (i.e. the company I want to build) who knows how to fetch the data from me - but doesn't own or control said data - at some small latency.
Why doesn't the VISA / MasterCard of personal data transactions exist yet? Is anyone working on this? Does anyone want to?
I get that this sounds a bit crazy right now, but I think this is a huge business in the next decade.
We do a ton of data plumbing at my current startup https://welco.me/ . Ps we launched our 2.0 app today
