I also heard Mycellium is best avoided now. You're right about there being a lot of "scumbags". It used to be one of the best Android wallets, but it was sold and now the new team is pushing referall links or something else shady via the main interface.

The transaction fees, as you said, are better coins. Temporarily, that's LTC. Bitcoin Cash is good too. Lots of alts are technically better than BTC.

BTC is mostly network affect at this point.
