Bitcoin Skimming: A Game-Changer for Investors

Bitcoin’s ups and downs have made and lost fortunes. But what if there was a way to outperform BTC—without ever buying it?

Hedge fund titan Larry Benedict has revealed a new approach called "Bitcoin Skimming," a strategy that has outpaced Bitcoin’s returns by as much as 22-to-1.

With the SEC’s latest decision set to shake up crypto markets, now is the perfect time to discover how this works.

United to Launch High-Speed Wi-Fi on Regional Jets with FAA Approval

United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) has secured Federal Aviation Administration approval to install Starlink internet service on its Embraer 175 aircraft. The certification marks a key step in United’s broader plan to upgrade onboard connectivity across its fleet.

Technicians will begin outfitting regional jets with the satellite-based system in May. The company plans to retrofit about 40 aircraft monthly and complete installations on all 300 Embraer 175s by year-end. These jets operate under the United Express brand, serving shorter domestic routes.

Passengers on these flights will gain access to high-speed internet, and MileagePlus members will receive the service at no additional cost. In-flight connectivity has become a focus area for United as it modernizes the passenger experience and aligns with evolving digital expectations.

Additional aircraft models are also in the queue for Starlink integration. United has started working with Starlink to expand FAA certifications across more than a dozen aircraft types in its broader lineup.

Other carriers, including Hawaiian Airlines and JSX, have partnered with Starlink. However, United is among the first major U.S. airlines to receive formal FAA approval and execute a full rollout plan.

Infrastructure upgrades like this align with United’s long-term focus on customer-facing innovation. The company continues implementing fleet-wide improvements across operations, service, and technology.

Apple Expands Health Focus with AI Integration in Upcoming iOS Update

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is preparing to roll out a major upgrade to its health app, marking a new push toward personalized wellness and artificial intelligence. The revamped app is expected to feature an AI-powered health coach that uses data from Apple devices to generate tailored health recommendations.

The initiative, internally called “Project Mulberry,” will debut with a future iOS update, likely to coincide with a spring or summer software release. The feature combines wearable data with AI-driven guidance, offering users suggestions based on heart rate, sleep quality, activity levels, and other metrics.

Apple has begun training its AI systems using internal data and expert insights from in-house and external medical professionals. Plans include incorporating video content created by specialists in cardiology, nutrition, and mental health to support personalized suggestions.

The upgrade operates across the Apple ecosystem, pulling data from iPhones, Apple Watches, and compatible third-party health accessories. Integrating new machine learning models aims to deliver context-aware notifications and promote preventative care.

This development of the AI health coach aligns with Apple’s broader strategy to deepen its presence in digital health. While full access to the new feature set may require a separate subscription service, Apple has not yet confirmed the pricing model or release timeline.

Oracle Scales Up Cloud Efficiency with the Latest EPYC-Backed Compute Offering

Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) has introduced its latest cloud infrastructure upgrade with the launch of Compute E6 Standard shapes on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), powered by AMD’s fifth-generation EPYC processors. The release focuses on increasing performance and efficiency for general-purpose and compute-intensive workloads.

Developers and enterprise clients now have access to new OCI Compute E6 instances, which aim to improve cost-to-performance ratios while expanding Oracle’s reach across global cloud regions. The initial rollout includes bare metal and virtual machines across data centers in the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Organizations relying on high-performance computing stand to benefit from Oracle’s hardware-software integration. The E6 Compute shapes build on the previous E5 generation and further diversify Oracle’s cloud offering amid rising enterprise demand for scalable, energy-efficient solutions.

Cloud engineers can integrate the Compute E6 Standard instances into existing architectures while aligning with Oracle’s broader cloud service portfolio. Additional regions are expected to gain access as part of a phased rollout.

Oracle maintains its momentum in cloud infrastructure by leveraging AMD’s latest processors to strengthen its competitive position. The move highlights Oracle’s ongoing investment in next-generation technology to optimize enterprise workloads in the public cloud.

Recent Tech Movers

CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) didn’t make the splash many expected last Friday as it entered public markets. Due, in part, to wider negative market sentiment, the stock closed at $40 on its first trading day (well below its $47 - $55 price target). The trend continued Monday as the new stock opened nearly 9% lower than Friday’s close at $36.50.   

Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) shares are lagging as the AI-meets-defense tech stock continues paring back gains from a tremendous 2024/2025 surge that saw the stock hit $124 before settling into double-digit territory. Though Palantir has close ties to the Trump Administration, Morgan Stanley Research pointed to the “potential for weaker IT spending demand” as Federal agencies pare back as a key reason behind the recent price action. 

Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT), the mortgage-centric FinTech firm, made major moves this week by announcing a planned acquisition of mortgage loan servicer Mr. Cooper (NASDAQ:COOP) for $9.4 billion. The buyout follows Rocket’s Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN) acquisition earlier this month - all signs that Rocket is positioning itself as a dominant player in the PropTech and lending sectors. 

Elon’s Secret Strategy (Sponsored)

Every investor in America is trying to figure out what Musk will do in Washington, D.C., in the coming weeks.

One Boston-based think tank – who has studied Elon’s work for decades – is stepping forward to share what they’ve found.

They believe his TRUE plan is far more radical than anyone realizes. It could change the way you live, work, get paid, and collect Social Security…

Don’t Overlook This Tech Stock

Core Scientific (NASDAQ:CORZ) is a Bitcoin mining stock, but that’s not all: after focusing exclusively on crypto sectors, the company is making major inroads as an AI player. But markets are still pricing Core Scientific as if it’s solely focused on mining and ignoring the (much) wider picture and upside potential. 

The company executed a small-scale pivot to turn its vast mining compute resources toward AI data center hosting, a major sticking point for existing and emergent artificial intelligence companies (just look to the many, many stories of giants like Nvidia going all-in on data center expansion). 

Better yet, the company has proven delivery and major players on its side, including CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV), with whom it has a long-term contract supporting the OpenAI-backed cloud computing firm. 

Ultimately, Core Scientific stands to gain if (or when) Bitcoin markets rebound. More importantly, it’s positioning itself as a future contender among major upstream AI vendors - but markets haven’t yet priced in this reality. 

Everything Else

  • According to inside sources, Honeywell International plans to take its quantum-computing subsidiary Quantinuum public within two years. Quantinuum’s last pre-money valuation was $5 billion in 2024 after a $300 million fundraising effort. 

  • AppLovin issued a defense following last week’s short report accusing the AdTech firm of violating user privacy laws and terms of service agreements with platforms like FaceBook, Reddit, and more. 

  • Elon Musk continued building his interconnected business ecosystem (or empire) last week. He announced that his AI startup xAI bought social platform X for $30 billion, though well below its original $44 billion purchase price.   

  • D-Wave unveiled new quantum computing applications in drug discovery at a conference this week; the machine leverages AI to produce “novel molecular structures” rapidly.

  • AMD reasserted its footing in the competitive AI space after closing a $4.9 billion buyout of data center and cloud computing company ZT Systems.
