I feel like this is a silly comment. If you are worried about losing money in fees you probably shouldnt buy or use BTC ever. It has never really been cheap, if your thinking in BTC terms.
Hes a new guy, let him invest how he pleases. You worried about fees? Go to LTC or something. If you want BTC, buying in small amounts over time is the best option. Especially because of it being high right now. This doesnt really show signs of stopping mate. Get over it.
Yes btc was never that cheap, but it will be better and faster after upcoming forks,
Currently, btc is going to the moon again as it is preparing to start "BTC FUTURE" trading tomorrow in usa,
So the price is too high to invest such low price, i still think altcoins investment is much better now
