Fees aren't currently much of a problem for bitcoin right now, as since the segwit upgrade they have been gradually falling. Recently there was a big boost in segwit adoption, meaning that the average fee is decreasing still. Nowadays it is quite possible to have a transaction confirm within a few minutes for just 20sats/byte, whereas it was hundreds around Christmas. Segwit has done enough for Bitcoin, and will allow implementation of the Lightning network, no need to switch to BCH (the probable scam coin).
